Chapter 23: Injection. No no Vaccination

Since Amy is now 4.5 years old , we need to give her 2 vaccinations.

Its ok to give all vaccines before 2 years I think. Because, babies don’t know that they are gonna get a shot until and unless they get one.

Now at 4 years, situation changed. Two months back, when we were discussing about her injections pending, she overheard and told me she doesn’t want any injection. In order to console her, I said, no injection Amy, only Vaccination.

Last Saturday we took her to her pediatrician, since she was having cough and cold for more than3 days.

After examination, he prescribed medicines and I checked with him about the injections pending.

Amy was hearing our conversation and said “Amma, I don’t want injection, I will have Vaccination.”

Eventhough We felt like laughing, I controlled myself and said to Doc.

Doc,please no injection, only Vaccination.

He Said : “Sure”

Poor little girl,she is gonna get 2 shots this Saturday..

I don’t know how I am gonna manage her..

Chatper 22: Mid Night Service

This is about Christmas midnight service..

For the past 3 years, since Amy was small she didn’t know what is a midnight service during Christmas. This year once we were taking about going to midnight service, she asked me what it is. So I explained her that we will be having church service during midnight on Christmas eve. She was excited.

Finally festival season started and we (Me, Achayan and Amy) went to Jain apartment to celebrate Christmas with my in-laws. My mother in law prepare lots of cakes and sweets to share with relatives, friends and neighbors.  So Christmas season we ladies will be fully busy preparing all these sweets.

This Christmas also, we prepared Cake, Achappam, Diamon, Athimaduram etc.. It took 3 days for us to prepare all sweets and we are done with the preparation by 24^th evening only. We were very tired..

But all decides to go to mid night service itself..Amy was excited..

But everybody went to their own rooms to get a small nap before going to church. Me Achayan and Amy were in our room, playing… I was so tired that I didn’t sleep, because, if I slept, I won’t be able to wake up for midnight service.

Its 10.30 PM and Amy is behind me asking me to change her dress. Achayan went to my in-laws room and my mother-in-law was asleep. She was tired that she asked to go for morning service. No midnight service.

But by the time Achayan came back to our Room, Amy was all ready for Church. She went to her Ammachi along with her dad and made her awake. My mother-in-law got furious but finally she changed her dress for church.

Even my brother-in-law and co-sister was not ready and their kid (Asher) was sleeping. Amy made everybody to wake up and get ready for church. All of us tried to convince her and made her sleep so that all can go for morning service next day. But Amy didn’t agree. She wants to go for midnight service itself.

Finally we all got ready and reached church by 11.30.But the most interesting fact was Amy fell asleep by the time we reached Church!.
