doctor's visit...

at kyler's 4 year well-check appointment, he was pretty excited to go see the doctor because he really wanted a sucker.

in addition to the standard check-up, kyler also had his first hearing and vision tests. (he passed with flying colors...)

when the doc walked in, kyler said, "hey doctor curtis. what's up?" after some small talk, doc asked me if i wanted to go ahead and start his first round of kindergarten vaccinations so that he was ahead of schedule and ready to go. he also recommended the h1n1 vaccine. i agreed, somewhat reluctantly, and he asked kyler how he felt about it.

doc: the first one will just be a little spray in your nose and the other two are pokes in your arm.

kyler: ummm, well, can mine mom just do that at our home?

doc: nah, it's really something we need to do here.

kyler: ok.

well, needless to really say, the nasal spray was simple and the other two got tears. from both of us.

that appointment was two days ago. he still has the band-aid on.

i have a feeling the next round of shots, in two months, will not be nearly so smooth...

we will keep you posted...
