Owie!

Liam had to go to the doctor yesterday because he has had a persistent runny nose and then he started messing with his ears. Fortunately, it's not an ear infection but could have been one as the ear drum was sucked in and would have allowed fluid to build up in the ear. He's on an antibiotic now for the sinus infection.

While we were there, Dr. B asked if we wanted to go ahead and get flu shots. I know not everyone is for all that, but we are especially since we are constantly on the go and around all those germs. Well, usually, when they have to get shots, I have some prep time and get them psyched up for the shots, etc. No time for that yesterday. Ace was pretty insistent that he wouldn't get a shot. Dr. B tried to reason with him:

"You need to get the shot so you won't get sick and have to go to the hospital"

Ace (frowning and generally grumpy): "I don't want a shot. I want to get sick."

Oh well! I even tried the big brother protecting little brother since he is too young to get a shot...still didn't work. But he got one and he was over it in little while (like a day).
