Growing Pains, Cutting Teeth, and Shots ... Oh My!

Yap you read it right. Poor little James is going through all of it at once. He is still working on cutting his molars, he is having growing pains and he had to have a shot on last Thursday and has to go back for 4 more tomorrow.

He is not doing well with the last shot that he had. I am afraid that these next 4 are really going to do a number on him. He is completely cranky all day, doesn't want to eat his solids or his milk, has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming wildly and inconsolable. I am guessing that it is from the growing pains. I have been giving him Tylenol during the day and Motrin at night to help him feel a little better. I really wish that there was more that I could do for him.

I am really not looking forward to the shots tomorrow. I have to go between 1 and 4 which is during his nap time. I am hoping that he will sleep in a little late in the morning so I can push back his nap. I just hope that he does well. I know that he is going to cry. I really don't like the entire shot process, but I know deep down that it is for his own good. I just wish they could take him, do the shots and bring him back to me so that I can slather him with hugs and kisses and he won't think that I had anything to do with it. Can you tell that I am dreading it?

I might stop in at Lambikin's afterward to see if my yarn is in that I need to finish my niece's shrug that I am making her. James just loves Christina (the owner) and she seems to really like him too. So it might help to get his and my mind off the traumatic event. Then we will head home for the nap, that is if he doesn't fall asleep on the way home.

Got to go do the dishes from this evening. I hope that you are all doing well.
