At last I took Nora for her second MMR jab. It’s been a while that I forgot to bring her red book with me. The nurse just have to fill it in later (writing this in the off chance I’ll reread this post and bring the red book over).
Anyway, I was so worried about the jab. Not because of the aftereffect or things like that… more that Nora would scream and cry! But it was all unwarranted. It went really quick and probably she felt a jolt, but the nurse and I distracted her by cheering… well either that or she was looking at us like a pair of maniacs.
She received her ‘brave’ sticker and was happy for that… but on the way out she looked at me and said ‘I got ouch!’
Probably the jab didn’t hurt as much as the pinch she received from another toddler in nursery. Nora’s been having nightmares lately screaming out ‘No’, ‘Naughty, (toddler’s name)’ and ‘No, I don’t like that’… makes me wonder what she’s dreaming about or what happened to her when she’s not with me.
Wish Mama is always there to protect you but you have to learn that the world is not a nice place sometimes…
