Doctors + Babies= Fun??


This past Thursday and Friday were bad days for Andrew. He had to go see the doctor because of a scratch in his eye from the dog jumping on him, he had his 18 month checkup, and a follow-up visit for his scratch. On Thursday the doctor checked the scratch by putting an eye drop in his eye that turned neon green and then shone a type of black light in it. Jordan and I thought it was pretty cool so I asked the doctor what kind of light it was and he said "It's just like the kind you see at clubs." I have 3 kids, a teenager, a toddler and a baby....when does this doctor think I've been to a club recently? I digress.
Friday the doctor said his scratch was completely healed (yeah!), but he was due for 3 vaccinations :( Since we had been there the day before Andrew knew the drill and was NOT happy to be there, period. The nurse came and she and I had to basically hold him down while she gave the shots(not fun!). He stopped crying relatively quick so William decided that was the prime time to say, "That was fun!". Ahhh, to see things through a child's eyes. Somewhere in that chaos of seeing weird neon green oozing out of Andrew's eye, seeing him held down while he got shots, there was fun to be had. Wish I could have said the same. I was exhausted! Jordan luckily came with me to both visits so she was a great help with William. In the end we left with one less scratch, three new shots, and four yummy lollipops for all of us!
