This morning, bright and early, we picked T1 up from Nana’s and brought her for her 6 year old booster jab. Don’t ask me what it was for because I am hopeless at things like this. Which is kind of SCARY because how do I protect my children when I don’t even know what the hell they keep injecting my kids with!?!

Oh my God. They’re going to take my kids to welfare now, aren’t they?

Anyways, the Doctor asked if I had any problems with T1 and immediately, it flew out of my mouth, “YES. She talks too much.” This Doctor, he is the coolest. He didn’t laugh at all and wrote it down matter-of-factly on her report card, talks too much (Seriously, the Hubs saw it) and T1 had this very proud smirk on her face and started her gibberish nonsense. And then whilst the Doc jabbed her, she was STILL talking not sitting still and I said, “You see??? She hasn’t stopped. She even talks when she’s sleeping!!!”

Then I asked him if he had a jab that could make her shut her gob and he said, OF COURSE!

I gave her that LOOK and she suddenly quietened down. Obviously it takes a Doctor’s threats to shut her up. Later she told me that it was easy if I wanted to shut her up. Just give her her favourite candy and she’d be quite for all of 5 minutes.

After we’d left, the nurse came running after us to ask why T2 hadn’t yet had her chicken pox vaccine. I gave her the blank look. Actually, it was my normal look as I always AM blank but she didn’t know that.

You’re asking me? You’re the one who’s supposed to be informing me! So she suggested we got back in to get T2 jabbed as well since she was due and since we were there and it turned out that T2 WAS supposed to have her CP jab today as well except that this blur Mommy didn’t know about it. I TOLD YOU. I wasn’t lying. I get 3-4 hours sleep a night and feel like a drug addict most days.

They showed it to me in their diary. T1 and T2 and their respective vaccination appointments. Oops.

Back in we trotted, all four of us, and again the Doctor asked if we had any problems with T2. Same old story, SHE DOES NOT EAT!!! The Doctor stole a glance at her and said, nothing to worry…..anything else? I thought for a moment and told him that she had this habit of hitting people when she didn’t get her way. How can I stop it? Sometimes she pulls my glasses off and I get REAL mad. Should I scold her, put her for a time-out? Remove boob privileges?

He said no. She is too young still to understand (could’ve fooled me!) and she does it out of frustration and it is the way she expresses herself. He said we were already lucky that she only hit us as some babies banged their heads persistently. And then after observing her in and out, he commented, “Are you sure she hits a lot? She looks like a very good baby?!!! She has been so good all morning!”

All this whilst, of course, T2 WAS on her best behaviour and I felt like the Doctor was mocking me that I was the delusional one instead but thankfully, T1 saved me and quipped, “Be careful Doctor, she is only smiling at you now to attract you…..” and she gave him that warning eye, nodding her head. That was totally hilarious. I continued, “Yes, she’s a devil behind closed doors, this one…..” Doctor looked at us both suspiciously and T2 was still smiling at him innocently, so the Hubs added, “Oh yeah, this one is a real baby monster.”

T2 got jabbed (and I dare say, STABBED with an injection, because he really went SYOOK!!! straight into her thigh) without a flinch. She didn’t even cry and the doctor was convinced that we were all ganged up against her for some God forsaken reason as the bugger was still smiling at him, flirting, making kitten-y whines. OH! Can you believe it???!!!

Don’t trust this face. It managed to charm the pants off a reputable Doctor……
