Tough Guy

Carter got his flu shot today and did AWESOME. He has always cried as soon as he gets pricked (though he gets over it about 10 seconds after I pick him up). The last couple of times we were at the pediatrician's office Carter got all clingy as soon as we went into the exam room because he knew what was coming.

Today Carter followed the nurse right into the room as I carried Rylan in the carrier behind him. When we got in the room, Carter told the nurse "hi" a few times in his sweet voice. I put him on the table, and he laid down with a smile on his face. He didn't even squirm or complain as the nurse held onto his legs and I held his hands. He made a little grimace as he got pricked but smiled again almost immediately. The nurse even seemed surprised that he did so well. I'm so proud of him!

Carter was very pleased to also get a huge Handy Manny sticker!
