Brave Boy!

The school called this morning and said that Dallin needed his Hepatitis A booster shot. (Thank heavens they are keeping track of it...with four kids and all their well child visits, I can't keep it all straight!) I called the doctor and they said they could get us right in...much to Dallin's distress. :) We go in and the nurse says, "Look at your mom so it doesn't hurt so much." Dallin promptly and firmly tells her, "No! I want to watch." The nurse says, "It will hurt more if you watch." He says, "I'm watching!" She sticks him, he grabs her hand and pulls the needle right out of his leg...ouch!!! He's not crying or anything, just determined not to leg go of that needle. She tells him she's gonna have to do it again, because she didn't get the medicine in. He lets her, but first he tells her the place he wants her to stick it. Still no tears...straight face. Brave kid! Who pulls a needle out of their own leg? Later in the car he says, "Mom, it doesn't even hurt anymore, isn't the bandaid supposed to fall off when it stops hurting?" I say, "No, you have to pull the bandaid off yourself." He says, "No that will hurt and then I'll need another bandaid!"


*note: he's waring the same shirt that he was in the previous post. This particular shirt is turning out to be the favorite school outfit. He likes that it goes with the green shorts in a "set" :)
