Shots

It was the wee little one's 6-month vaccination appointment today. He was all smiles before they pricked his chubby little leg and it made me sad to ruin his wonderful mood. All in the name of good health because as soon as they poked him with that needle his good natured personality went out the window! After the shots we went to recover in the waiting room and there was a lady who was reading books to the kids. Yes, that was her actual job! She's paid by the government to promote literacy in young children so she works with public organizations by reading to children. I have encountered her before and today she read Bulldozer "La Grenouille Aven La Grande Bouche", one of the cutest books I have ever seen! The frog eats flies (as most frogs do) and in the end finds out that the crocodile wants to eat "la grenouille avec la grande bouche" (the frog with the big mouth) so he makes his mouth into a little circle to avoid being eaten! The book has a lot of pop-out designs and is irresistible to the kids. Along with the frog book we also read a book all about animals and their poo! Technically it was a potty training book but the little pellets, splotches, smears, logs, etc... that occupied each animal's diaper was hilarious! Possibly more funny for us the parents than our actual kids!
