My First Halloween

How did a one-year-old boy enjoy his first Halloween? Dressed in a fancy outfit and played 'Trick-or-Treating'?  Umm...may be a bit too soon for the boy who can only pronounce 'tik, tik, tik'! 

Though Changton was too young to enjoy Halloween, mom got Changton to wear a Devil headband for the occasion. He didn't like it and took the headband off a few times. Mom then used a biscuit to draw his attention away from the headband she put on his head. What a trick! After eating the biscuit, he seemed to forget about the headband worn around his head. In fact, Changton wore the headband for almost the entire time that we were out.

Bored with the ride, the boy asked his mom for going out. He tried to climb up to his pram.

Well, mom was about to take you out! Changton had an appointment for vaccination! It wasn't planned for Halloween but somehow it happened to be on Halloween. Poor Changton:(

We went to see his pediatrician, Dr.Sofie of Dr. Bear's family clinic. The clinic has 4 doctors plus lots of teddy bears to cheer kids up. While waiting to see the doctor, Changton had several rides in the play area. This was the first time that mom let Changton played at the clinic. Besides that he is now old enough to play, there were no kids playing in the area. Mom doesn't want to bring Changton up in a germ-free zone; she neither wants to put him in an overly-exposed-to-germs zone, like ones in the clinic. 

Here Changton had a Pokemon ride, followed by a penguin ride and a hose ride.

Then, the moment of truth! For this visit, Changton had  2 jabs: MMR and Flu jab. The boy cried after the first jab and continued to the next. But he stopped right after the second was done.

After the jab, we went to Chili's for lunch. This time round mom ordered a kid meal for Changton for the first time. He had a grilled chicken burger. He ate half of the burger (tiny bit at a time) plus a bottle of milk!

When we came back, mom closely observed Changton for any signs of pain or fever, given that he had two jabs at one time. Mom continued to monitor Changton during the night while the boy slept soundly! Yes, once again the boy survived the jabs. Changton is a very healthy boy. He has never been sick since he was born. TOUCH WOOD!!!!
