So Ryan was okay going to the appt...was okay in the room...was okay with the NP and the Dr...and generally did really good. I will say that this was THE hardest appointment out of any that I've had to take him too - almost harder than being with him when he got stitches in his forehead.
He laid on the table when asked and then sort of freaked out when he realized she was leaning on his legs and I had to hold his arms down (SOB). Huge tears. Like huge ones. And my son is a whiner - but he doesn't really cry tears. And I knew the 4th one was the worst and he actually screamed like someone was cutting his leg off.
It was terrible terrible terrible.
And then we ate ice cream for lunch - but shhhh - don't tell anyone. Daddy isn't supposed to know. (According to Ryan).
Thanks for all the advice. I'm SO glad I don't have to do that with him again for a LONG time. Now I just have to go do it again with Natalie next week. ugh. WORST thing ever. ![]()
