Nolan had to get his Kindergarten shots yesterday and...neither one of us was looking forward to it haha. Let's just say it didn't go well last time. He was hiding under the chair and screamed and cried. Poor guy! His dad was no different. He famously was so terrified of getting a shot that his mom bought his friend along to the doctor so that hopefully he'd be more brave in front of his friend. It didn't work. He screamed and tried to run away! haha. Anyway, I was bracing for a similar experience with Nolan (based on past experience).
We showed up at the doctor's office. He brought his blankies and I told him he could listen to a book on the Fairy Tales app on my phone. He did really well while the doctor talked to him and examined him then when she left I told Nolan "Ok, the nurse is going to come back and give you the shot real quick, do you want to sit on the bench or on my lap?" He sat on my lap and grabbed his blankies. He just said, "Ssssshhhoot?" but didn't cry or run and hide or kick his legs, none of the usual suspects when he's scared or really doesn't want to do something. The nurse came in and he talked to her for a second while I got the phone ready and I said, "Ok here it goes." He didn't even flinch! Just kind of tensed up and then showed relief that it was done. I couldn't believe it! I am SO PROUD of him!! I'm still in complete shock at how well he did. My big, brave boy!
