3 Hours

Yes, it took 3 hours to get Jax and Riley's checkups (3 year and 9 month). Our appointment was at 10am so we got to the office at 9:50 and finally at 12:15 we got to go back to a room. Once we got back to the room Jax got scared. Just in case you did not know Jax has always been terrified of the doctors office - now he loves his doctor (except when she is looking in his ears or throat). We do love their doctor. So we had talked to Jax about the checkup and got him all ready. He was going to ask the doctor if he could sit in his daddies lap instead of laying on the table. When the nurse came in to get us to go weight he blurted out can i sit and not lay on the table (it really was the most innocent thing ever). So, we all got weighed and Riley did not like that one bit. He was so tired because he missed his morning nap for this appointment. Once we got into the room the nurse said we had to get their finger pricked - well Daddy had told Jax that he was not going to have to. We had a few tears over the prick. Then the other nurse came in to make sure we were not letting Jax play with stray dogs and that we were still putting Riley in a car seat. She also wanted to know if Riley was crawling yet - he looked at her like lady I am a walking man now. Then Jax blurted out that he did not want the Doctor to look in his throat so the nurse said well lets practice. She told him if he opened really wide then the Doctor would not have to stick the stick in his mouth. So Jax practiced that a few times and then the Doctor came in . Before she could get both feet in the door way he said you don't use a stick in my mouth. So she threw the stick that she had in her pocket away. Now, I forgot to tell you that he wore his cowboy boots to the visit (again he really likes his Doctor he just does not like the whole setting and I think he wanted to impress her). So when the doctor came in she made a comment about how cute he was and that just made in light up. But we did not get out of that office until 12:45. Jax did so well at this checkup and even got his flu shot without a lot of Drama. Riley did really well also and the flu shot did not bother him that much. Jax now weighs 34,5lbs. and was 39 inches tall and Riley weighs 20.14lbs and was 30 inches tall. The rest of the afternoon was rest and play.
