this morning i took the boy in for shots, which didn't please him at all, and it's a horror to watch them stick needles into his thighs and watch the whole assembly go halfway in. i suppose it is for the good to protect him from diptheria and all that other stuff, and he's getting big enough to the point now that he wants to walk by himself or hold my hand and lead me to places like Burger King where he goes oooooooooooooooo! when he sees onion rings or fries or a straw he can toot by himself. i wish i had his energy so that i could play with him. and i've given up television and movies and books and computer time so i can talk to him if he needs me. well, not really computer time. more like he took a squirt bottle to my laptop because he thought it was dirty and he did bring a blue terry cloth towel to clean up the mess.
