Yesterday, munchkin had to go back to the clinic for his second lot of immunisations a.k.a nice nurese with the nasty needles place. He must have known this was going to happen as the usually angelic monster woke at 0330 whimpering. He was fed and in true munchkin fashion went straight back to sleep again until he woke at 0630 to beam at his daddy and see him off to work.
After breakfast, munchkin and I sang "He's got the whole world" with actions and everything about 500 times and "Head and Shoulders" about 1000 times (also with actions) before he yawned a few times indicating that "You are boring me now mum, that old repertoire is going to HAVE to change soon". He then played in his cot for a bit and went down for a nap.....this nap went on until 1315 (his appointment was at 1330). So munchkin was quickly changed, tarted up ready to face nice nursey.
We were called in and munchkin gave nice nursey a beaming smile. He then sat like a good munchkin on my lap. Nice nursey produced the needle as munchkin gurgled away, oblivious to the inevitable. Needle 1 landed in munchkin's well nourished leg. Munchkin extended his big fat bottom lip, lip quivered, face screwed up and a howl left munchkins lips as a little tear left the corner of his eye. Needle 1 was removed. Munchkin quietened and resumed gurgling. The whole act was repeated when Needle 2 was administered.
Nursey then put 2 plasters on his little legs (for dramatic effect as he wasn't bleeding at all!) and asked "Have you got a nice little smile for me?" To which Munchkin replied most definitely no by repeating the whole quiverring lip and tear act to great dramatic effect. I wonder where he gets that from?
