Needles

Mitch had his 1 year immunisation needles this morning, poor little boy. He had three needles for various things including meningococcal which is a new one. It's nice to know that he wont ever get at least that strain of it now. He had two needles in one leg and one in the other. He was very brave and only cried a little bit while he was actually being injected. By the time we had left the doctor's office he had stopped crying, what a good boy! Hopefully, his legs wont hurt to much tomorrow on his birthday. I have the day off and it it's fine we're going to go to our favourite park.

The doctor also confirmed that he appears to have a skin allergy to vegemite which is not very Australian, but of all the things to be allergic to, vegemite is probably fairly easy to avoid. You don't accidentally put vegemite in something. Also, all that happens is that he gets a skin rash, so it wont mean racing off to the hospital or Epipens or anything like that.

In other news yesterday he drank his water through a straw for the first time yesterday. Funny how the most menial of tasks can be seen as a milestone!
