It doesn't always have to be about the mommy....

Does it????

So in all my brilliance, I scheduled both Xander's 2 year old check up and Johnathan's 5 year old check up in the same day.

Back to back appointments...I guess I thought that would make my life somehow easier! Appointments were at 2:30 and 3. At 8:15, Johnathan started protesting about shots. He needed the appointment in order for me to register him for Kindergarten this upcoming week.....

He spent the morning with my sister, and I pick him up at 2ish for the appointment.

We get to the office, and Xander is sound alseep. Johnathan does great with the basics. Height, weight....he is 34 pounds and 43 inches! Time for the blood pressure and temp. NO problem. Vision check...cheats a little bit, but for the most part no problem. Biggest excitement....he got to pee in a cup!! Silly me, asked the child if he needed any help. Nope he had it all under control!! Then comes the finger stick. Again, he doesn't have any problems with this. Except the nurse forgot to warn him about the stick. I thought he was going to jump out of the chair!! Never shed the first tear! He was awesome!!

Then came Xander's turn! We did as much as we could with him sleeping. I tried to tell her he will sleep through the finger prick if once you are done you leave him alone. NO BAND-AID. Give me a kleenex or something for the bleeding but don't try to help. Well the "nurse" in her couldn't help it. She washed his finger, stuck him and then got the blood she needed in the straw. I tried to take the cotton to help so that I didn't get blood on me, but she kept messing. Once she saw how much he was bleeding (it really wasn't alot) the nurse took over. That was all it took. He was up and SCREAMING!! Wouldn't stand on the scale, wouldn't do height/weight anything.

Came time for his urine sample and we had to put the little bag on him. We he is still screaming so apparently it didn't get on tight enough.

Halfway through the appointment he decided to inform me that the exam bed was wet. Well then so was mommy.

Not only had the bag leaked, so had his diaper. All over him, the exam bed and mommy!! So here I sat with pee on my shirt sleeve at my wrist and elbow and on my pant leg at my knee.

He finished the rest of the exam in fine form and passed with flying colors!! Happy as a clam to be running around the doctors office completely and totally naked!!

Johnathan's exam went just as well. No issues to report, and he is ready for Kindergarten when school starts in the fall!

The best part....neither kid needed shots!!!

Xander won't need till he is 4, and Johnathan won't need till 2nd grade.

Michael can have that appointment. I've had enough excitement!
