They just sit and smile and naively trust that no one will jab them with sharp instruments. When they get older, it gets a lot harder. I always spend hours prepping my kids, buying special bandaids, and letting them pick out a comfort object to bring, reading books about needles, explaining the procedure. And still it comes down to them kicking and screaming and me holding them down.randinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155819253156693572noreply@blogger.com
