As it turns out, The Princess has become quite the screamer when it comes to shots of any kind lately.  When she was younger she was such a trooper!  Had blood drawn at one month old, nary a peep at her immunizations, and didn’t flinch at her flu shot.  But today she made it clear that she did NOT, I repeat DID NOT want a shot of any kind.  Or to have her clothes taken off.  Or to be weighed so that they could get the proper dosing for the shot.  Or to have her clothes put back on.  Or to do anything besides rest comfortably snuggled in her Mama’s arms with her chin draped dramatically over my shoulder sniffling quietly (and not so quietly).   Phew, the drama of it all.  But we got it done and the doc said that she might not need another shot this RSV season because the RSV activity may die down by next month.  That would be nice.

More drama at dinnertime.  We’re out of Puffs (Tater Tot’s favorite appetizer).  Oh, the horror!  How can The Princess be expected to sit in her high chair and wait for Mommy to make her dinner without an appetizer?  So, The Mommy improvised and Princess Tater Tot got her first taste of spelt tortilla.  Spelt is a kind of wheat that doesn’t seem to produce the reaction that normal wheat gluten does.  Pretty tasty, too.  Flexibility…it’s what Mommies do.
