Today is vaccination catch-up day! Poor Nathan had to have THREE shots!
I actually have a good reason why they were/are behind. The reason being several years ago (we won’t say exactly HOW MANY years ago) after some questions were raised about a particular vaccination (of which I don’t even remember which one now if that gives you any indication how long ago it was), I needed to spend some time researching which ones we wanted the kids to have….
Fast forward several years and now they are all behind on their shots. Emily’s needed catching up ASAP for her job.
Nathan was such a good sport (so was Emily, but no pictures of her!) and he came away with three very shiny bandages.
What a relief to have the vaccinations and records up-to-date. This had been weighing heavily in the back of my mind because if something happened to me and I wasn’t here to explain myself, I wouldn’t want my family/friends thinking I’d been intentionally neglectful because that was definitely not the case!

I would never make any judgments about the way someone chooses to vaccinate their children.
Take them out of ps for their dr. appt., and then later, before youth group in the evening, they can dress up in their Halloween costume, go sit on Santa's lap, and ask him for a Harry Potter book.
