What an awesome little guy! Nice thinking on the pinch as well as standing your ground on the “new” nurse….

Ahhh, you handled that just right and Max was a little star. Miss M (also 3) is due for her pre-school jabs soon. I hope she is treated as kindly by a lady whose “wrinkles reach for the ceiling.” I loved that line. :D

@ Busymama Kellie,
Good luck with your idea – I hope it works. We made the EXACT SAME DEAL with my daughter, who, as I mentioned above, turns 17 TOMORROW. She has YET to see Disneyworld!

Marelisa: Max is like a poster for the Adorable Foundation.

Seamus: Thanks, my man.

Phil: Thanks for putting me in there. I hope I don’t crowd the place.

Nuke Dad: I pity whoever the next one was.

Busymama Kellie. That’s a good deal, and more than enough incentive.

I loved that story. Partly because I can relate to the waiting part. Our doc’s minimum wait time seems to be half an hour. Yes, an eternity with an antsy toddler or freaked out pre-schooler waiting for a shot. But I absolutely loved the way you let your son’s quiet bravery shine through in your story. If only my daughter was that brave! Our deal is that we’ll take her to Disneyworld next year if she doesn’t cry at her doc visit next month. I’m not packing our bags anytime soon!

Ah, the ole spastic nurse scenario, huh? We had the same thing happen to us only it was the anesthesiologist with our 3rd child. After the rookies 4th attempt at inserting the needle I told the Doc; “I know this is a teaching hospital, but if you don’t take over quick you’re going to be down 1 intern.” He looked at me and said; “Seriously?” I said; “She killed the last one, another one won’t matter and a jury would never convict her.” He grabbed the needle and was done in seconds. I heard him tell the intern; “We’ll let you try the next one, OK?”

I liked your explanation of a shot: they put a few bad guys in you so that a million good guys can yell at them never to come back :-) I see Max is polite even under difficult circumstances. Marelisas last blog post..Stress Management: 25 Ways to Relieve Stress
