On a normal day, a well visit to the doctor can be pretty taxing on the wee ones. That is, at least until the coming years when they know they will get a lollipop (AKA sucker to an Ohioan) and a Spiderman sticker when all's said and done. However, Amelia's visit to the doctor today was fairly atypical in most respects. She was a little nervous, but realized soon after most of her fears were unfounded. Instead of the normal slew of 6 vaccinations or so, today they only had to give her one, we didn't have to wait very long for the doctor, dad remembered to bring some snacks, and she had her good buddy Fred there providing emotional support. It doesn't get much better than that, well, except for when it's finally over. What's more, we even made it home exactly for nap time this afternoon.
Today we bid one of the remaining two a very merry Christmas farewell, as Fred begins his vacation today. Have a wonderful holiday celebration with your family, Fred. We will miss you.
A merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Until next year.
Lucky Amelia. Fred had three shots on his last visit to the doctor's. But he was very brave and was smiling at other kids while mommy scheduling his next appointment.
ReplyDeleteSteve, thank you so very much for the past two months and the coming months. Have a very merry holiday!
