I will confess we were not faithful with our well-child visits for Joshua. It has been over a year since going to the doctor so with Silas's 2nd month appointment we made one for Joshua as well.
Joshua had gone with me to a couple of my appointments before Silas was born and he went to one of Silas's appointments so we told him it was his turn to get checked out. He was kind I excited.
He did a great job following directions as the nurse weighed and measured and listened to him and to Silas...
Then came the figure prick...
Michael held him and told Joshua to look at daddy and only at daddy. There was one or two trickling tears coming on almost more from hurt feelings. A if his tears were asking,"how could you do that to me?!?!"
From the doctor we found both boys with a clean bill of health Joshua holding out in about the 8th percentile for height. Silas on the other hand has been bigger from the start and remaining at a steady 23 percentile. As the doctor prepared for his escape he mouthed to us that both boys would need vaccinations much to this momma's dismay.
2 shots for Silas 1 for Joshua tears from the family of 4, but we all had smiles again before we left.
