Wm and I just got back from the doctor's. He got four shots and didn't even cry! He didn't so much as flinch for shots 1 and 2, was a little put out about #3 and did make The Big Face for shot 4. The nurse was AMAZED at how brave Wm was!! As soon as he was done, he goes, "Was I brave enough to get a chocolate milk shake?" When I told him he definitely was, he hopped off the table and practically dragged me out. The entire car ride to Dairy Queen he kept asking, "was I so brave?" I was VERY impressed with Wm today!!! I expected a few tears or something...but he was a champ! In fact, when we got home (as he's drinking his milkshake, mind you), he said, "this is the best day ever!" I think he would gladly get 4 more shots for another milkshake.
The doctor said Wm is doing great! Her only concern is that when she asked Wm what he ate that was green, he said, "nothing." Which is, sadly, totally true. I try to sneak veggies into him as much as I can...but he is one picky little devil. For some odd reason, he also answered that he doesn't wear a helmet on his bike when she asked, which is a total LIE. So then I looked like a horrible mother. I just sort of stammered around that he really, REALLY, does, I swear! But I think the doctor looked skeptical. She is SO good with Wm and he loves her (so do I!) so he had a great time. He got to play with all her instruments and tell her A LOT about his legos. She was a good sport about the Lego Lecture. And said Wm is in great shape! Though, still a shorty pants; he is in the 10th percentile for height (as he has been since forever). Steve is still holding out hope that he can play goalie.
Wm is now further reaping the benefits of being outrageously good at the doctor by playing Lego Star Wars...again...
