Immunization Number …. at They Might Be Curly Giants!

God knows how many times we’ve been through the kids’ immunizations. So much so that the nurse at the hospital when we were there for Ayeed’s the other day remarked that Trin looked familiar (we were there just last month for Maya’s). As usual, I couldn’t be bothered with what they jabbed Ayeed with. We weren’t even sure whether he would have an immunization or just a regular check-up that day.

Trin handled him as I watched over Ajab who cut classes to spend the day out with us. A scream was heard (Ayeed’s) down the corridor and a few minutes later, the two boys were reunited in play.

They certainly played a lot that day. From the clinic’s playroom, to the hospital’s playground while I was getting the car (parking’s a bitch at the hospital these days!) to the playroom at Globetrotters at United Square where we had lunch.

I think this is a great restaurant because they have a nice, big playroom with lots of toys and play equipment where the kids can jump and run to their hearts’ content while us parents dine in peace.

It was a Thursday afternoon, so the place was practically deserted except for a few diners and the boys had the playroom all to themselves.

In between play, we managed to coax Ayeed to sit at the table and have something to eat, but Ajab didn’t want anything, save for a couple of chicken nuggets.

In fact, Ajab loved the place so much that he refused to leave and we almost had to drag him out. The day ended when we reached home just after 3pm. Ayeed was so exhausted that he refused to take another step past our main door and conveniently laid himself down on the hallway carpet as soon as we stepped inside the house. Poor boy fell asleep almost as soon as we placed him in his cot.

His next immunization won’t be until ~~next year~~ primary one, so that’s great. One less kid to send for jabs this year. Only Maya still has the whole series of jabs to go through.
