Ryan really is the opposite of his sister. She is tough. As a baby she was great at the doctor. They could do anything to her and she would take it. She barely flinched at shots. She is still like that ... Which is a good thing since she seems to spend a lot of time at the doctors!
Todays visit was a bit of a mess for Ryan. The visit started with a weight check. He cried when I put him on the scale. Then we moved him to a board to check his height. He cried. The doctor came in, cooed and babbled at him ... And he cried. He cried when she looked in his ears. He cried when she listened to his chest. He cried when she moved his legs around. He cried when they gave him to oral vaccine and lost it when he got FOUR shots.
It wasn't the best experience for him (or me), but other than his crying he checked out fine ;). He is currently sleeping it off and likely has already forgotten about the trauma. Good thing, because we go back for more of the same in just a few months!
