As you can see, Kira was a darn cute penguin for Halloween this year. We went over to our friends place, they have their house all decked out for halloween, it was amazing! I wish we had taken photos of the place - lots of people on the street were! Kira wasn't overly thrilled with the whole concept of halloween this year. She was clinging to Jon and I like her life depended on it. After a short while she warmed up a little and went up and down the stairs of the house most of the night. I have accepted now that she doesn't like chocolate (honestly, is she even my kid??) but it appears that she has some love for the salty; she devoured a small bag of chips yesterday and then a small bag of cheezies today! That said, she'd still take fruit over the junk and I guess I'll be ok with that.
Jon took Kira in for her 18 month vaccinations last week, she did very well. She apparently barely cried and was happy as anything for the rest of the day. Just when I was thinking how wonderful it was that the shots were finally over, the doctor tells us to come back next week for her H1N1 vaccination. D'oh. Oh well, it's for her own good, we'd be very upset if she got sick and we could have prevented it. And yes, I'll be getting mine then too - the doctor didn't give me a choice either. I'm curious to find out of everyone will be taking their kids for the shots...

Chris and I have been back and forth on the topic. We finally decided that it would be horrible if we didn't get vaccinations for the kids and they got sick. And we feel that it's our responsibility as neighbours and citizens to help keep the virus from spreading.
That's what we came up with, anyway. Tomorrow we're hoping to get the kids their shots. Not looking forward to it.
Glad to hear Kira did so well with the 18 month ones! Nice when you know you don't have to go again for a few years, eh?
Yeah, that's pretty much the reasoning for us to get it for Kira too. Sucks that it's a 2-doser though. Don't want to have to take her back again 3 weeks later. Oh well...Thanks for letting me know :)
Nice work on the 18 months shots, glad it didn't phase her much. Yes, Eliana got her H1N1 shot yesterday and booster in 3 weeks...We did the same as Maya going back and forth and made the decision too finally.
