Shots! Enough said............

Wow, we had an extremely difficult morning. All adopted children leaving China must participate in a medical examination prior to leaving the country. Recently, the rules have changed, and now, children must be current on their vaccinations or else, suffer the consequences. The Dr. reviewed the vaccination record that Jaxon came with and determined that he needed 6 shots plus his TB test.

When we walked to the back of the clinic and he spied the nurses in their white hospital outfits, bless his heart, he lost it. We think it was b/c he has been in the hospital so much that he immediately panicked. He weighed in at 24.7 pounds and is 35 inches tall. Eric made the nurses stop twice during the actual shots b/c we thought he was going to pass out from screaming.

After torturing the poor child, we then ventured out to a park in the city and he got to ride his first Merry Go Round. He loved the slide the most. It will be a miracle if we don’t all end up with lead poisoning from the playground equipment. (lol)
(Editors note....check out the topsiders!)

We were planning on swimming after naps, but it started raining, so we hit the Swan Room which i s the indoor playroom for kids. You are always bound to run into other adoptive families chilling in there, so it really is a nice place to go.

Oh...Jaxon also had his first ever lollipop. Butterscotch. He loved it!
