The Second Dr.'s Appt.

Jonathan and HannahKate both had doctor's appointments on Tuesday. I put them together thinking it would be faster to get in and out, well, if 2 hours is fast for two kids than I guess it went all right. Jonathan did beautifully at his appointment, but was always asking when HannahKate was going to get her shots. Jonathan gained 10 pounds over this past year and was quite the talker with the Nurse Practitioner (we just absolutely love Mrs. Sara). In the past five months we have had HannahKate she only gained 2 pounds (quite shocking for how much she eats), but has grown 2 inches. Well, now it was time for HannahKate to get her 4 shots and Jonathan wanted to watch as close as possible. (Now let me tell you that Jonathan is extremely scared of getting shots.) I was holding HannahKate's hands while the nurse put the shots in her legs. Of course HannahKate was screaming and the nurse finally told me that I could pick her up. After I calmed HannahKate down, Jonathan comes up to me crying. This boy did not like seeing his sister being hurt and he was scared for her. Of all the times that these two spend fighting, it was right then that Jonathan showed the compassion he had in his heart for his sister. It just made me want to cry having both of my children upset over the shots. But I did come to a conclusion, Jonathan and HannahKate will have separate appointments from now on. Two hours with two kids upset is too much heartache.
