We brought Daryl to the Marine Polyclinic for his DPT/DT 1st booster jab today. It's the last of the jabs which he is supposed to take for his immunisation.
When we reached the immunisation room, I think Daryl recognises it coz he turned & tried to pull me away. Kel & I were amazed as the last time we came was 3 months back. This shows that kids do have an elephant memory. Luckily, we managed to distract him so that he's willing to wait in the waiting area.
In the immunisation room, when the nurse jabbed the needle into Daryl's left thigh, he was watching it. The funny thing is, he didn't cry straight away when the needle went into his thigh. He looked up to see the nurse, then he screwed up his face & cried. His delayed reaction was so funny that we both laughed. Luckily his crying subside after a while. I was told to monitor him for signs of fever as he got a slight fever after his last jab.
After his jab, we had to wait for a doctor as Daryl is also due for his Development Assessment. During the assessment, Daryl's height & weight was taken. He's now 89cm & 13.5kg which puts him in the 97 percentile. When his assessment was done, we went home so that Daryl can get some rest.
Looking at Daryl, I am amazed at how time flies. It seems only like yesterday when I was pregnant with him. Now he's already 18 months old. It really warms my heart when I see him growing day by day.
