Bubby had his 3rd year well visit on Wednesday. He has finally gained weight! He is 6.5 lbs heavier than a year ago! He is also 38.5 inches tall! As soon as Dr. Rob walked into the room Bubby said, "Don't you tickle me!" Dr. Rob got a good laugh out of that one. He let Bubby play with the instruments and Bubby loved it. He was being so good...I was so proud. Dr. Rob was proud of him too and said that he was doing "excellent." I was extremely nervous and upset because I knew he was going to have to get his flu shot! I told him he was going to have to get some medicine in his leg and that it would just pinch for a minute...if he was a good boy, Mommy had a surprise for him! He was so excited! My heart was breaking... The nurse brought the shot in and he just stared at it. He sat there like a good boy. Mom and I could not get his attention on anything else. Bubby just looked at the shot like it was just another eyedropper for medicine. When the shot went in his leg he yelled and looked at me with a look of "how could you do this to me?" Oh, it killed me! I tried to give him a new Disney car and he wouldn't have it. He was mad! I felt horrible. He finally calmed down a little bit on the way home. However, when John called him to see how he did, he started telling John about the shot and started crying as if it was happening all over again! We've been through much worse in his first 2 years of his life, but these shots still get me. I just love him so much...it's so hard to see your child in pain...even if it's just for a split second! Hopefully, we won't have to deal with this again until next year! Now...I just have to make myself get my shot soon! Maybe Bubby will hold my hand! ha
