Proud Mommy Moments: The Shots

Hi! Did you miss me! Our company is here for their last day today, but I had some extra time yesterday afternoon when they all went to the beach and I stayed home with a sick Lucas. Yes, I know lucky me.

So please help make my day and link up with your Proud Mommy Moments. Proud Mommy Moments (#PMM) are your weekly chance to brag about the awesome things your kids, nieces, nephews, etc did and no one will judge because we told you to you to. Or you can do the opposite and tell us about those moments your kids made you so "proud"- i.e. something totally embarrassing. Please grab the button for your post and visit my co-host Kmama.
Every Thursday!

This last week I had to take Alex for her kindergarten physical, actually I was taking her just for a few shots as you have to schedule a physical about a month in advanced and I slacked-but I could at least take her in to get her shots so we can register her.

I called the Dr. Friday morning assuming I would be able to bring her in the morning. Well you know what they say about assuming things..ahem. Our appointment time 3:15-- so yes, after I picked Lucas up from school and had all three kids with me.

On our way to our appointment Lucas made sure to comment about how much he hates shots.; seriously kid-thanks! I quickly tried to remind Alex of how well she did last time she got shots.

We arrived at the doctors and luckily were the only ones in the waiting room. Taking three healthy kids to the doctor can be a potentially scary thing. We were eventually called back to the room and waited. Alex decided to try out the doctor's chair, spinning in a circle until she flew off the thing smacking her head.

Luckily those tears stopped before the doctor arrived. He talked with her for a few minutes then the nurse came in. They first had to the do the TB test, Alex flinched and lifted her other hand as the nurse stuck her in the arm. "Just squeeze my hand I told her."

Which she did. She then received two more shots in her shoulder. And what did she do-- absolutely nothing, not one tear, not one complaint, she just took it.

On the way home she did comment about how it did actually hurt. I assured her it was fine that it hurt and it was amazing how she handled it. Lucas than noted, "huh I guess I freak out the most of everyone for shots."

Yes, yes my son you do.
