I mentioned previously that Evie threw up as soon as we stepped foot into the doctor’s office. We were there for Spencer and Evie’s check up. We haven’t had insurance on either kid since they were one (which means for Spencer it had been 2 years!!) and now that we have insurance it was about time! Spencer was pretty nervous…he wouldn’t even stand on the scale without some major encouragement and threats of losing toys. I’ve thrown toys away before when he wouldn’t say he was sorry for hurting his cousin (I try to follow through on my threats) and he decided it was better to stand on the scale than lose his Transformers. I had to hold Spencer through the whole check up. They had the doctor and a student doctor from BYU in the room at the same time. Evie did wonderfully with the doctor. She sat still for him and loved his special made stethascope. Evie got 3 shots (and has 3 more to go to catch up) and Spencer had 1. This definitely was the most emotional part of the whole visit. They both cried a bit but we talked about how shots make our bodies strong and healthy (plus talk about going grocery shopping and getting strawberries) helped them calm down. They both got a sucker and a prize for doing so well. It took nearly 2 hours and I was surprised that I didn’t feel overwhelmed or cranky or simply-done-with-everything when we left.
I took pictures of Evie with her bandaids but never got one of Spencer.
