Today you got your tetanus shot but was much better about receiving it than your previous shot. Your mom told me you cried for just a couple of minutes and then you were fine. Your mom remembers your nostrils got big when you cried, and thought you looked so funny. You also wore your first Band-Aid. I got home late tonight after you fell asleep. Your mom and I were talking when suddenly you started crying from a nightmare. It was so sad to see you crying like that that we immediately picked you up and loved on you. You slept through all of this but I want you to know your mom loves you so much, and she wants you to be happy always. She takes care of you 100% of the time even when you are not aware she is there taking care of you. That’s how special she is. Today is also important because it is the first time you drank something other than milk or formula. Your first drink was MELON JUICE. Not to be confused with melon cream soda. First your mom let you taste the spoon she was using to eat a melon. You smacked your lips like it was tasty so your mom gave you some more. Soon your mom decided it was time to give you a little juice, which you promptly put in your mouth. It was so sour for you though you immediately spit it out all over yourself and cringed. Still you didn’t cry and your mom believes you did drink some of it and in some way enjoyed the experience.
