Double whammy...

First thing this morning, Aiden had his monthly RSV shot. He is to the point now that he recognizes the girl that always gives him the shots & is not happy when he sees her, even if it's just at a distance in the hall. He gets one shot in each leg & gets the shots every 28 days. I really hate taking him to get them, but I know, it is for his own good & it's better than the alternative. We have only April left & then we are free for about 6-7 months!

The last couple of times we have gone I have found that some of his favorite snacks make him happy right away. Today he got his very first sucker...EVER, right after his shot...and boy did he love that sucker!

(once it got too small & breakable, imagine the fit we had when I had to take it away)

Directly after his shot today, Aiden also had a follow up appointment with his Pediatrician. He saw the Dr. on Wednesday for this virus he's caught. They took his 02 sats which were normal & sent him for an x-ray which came out clear. I hated having to take him in right after his shot, but they wanted to follow up today to make sure he wasn't any worse. The Dr says he was about the same, maybe a little better & his 02 sats were good. He has not gained any weight this past month. In fact, he lost just a little, 3.5 ounces. They said it is normal & not too worry since he has been sick twice this month & has pretty much been cutting molars all month too. I think he seems a little better. His cough is gone, his color has been good & he is still pretty much himself.

After killing the hour in between appointments running a couple of errands, by the time we saw the pediatrician, it was lunchtime & Aiden was pretty ready to go home.

I managed to coax Aiden to sit still for just a few moments with his banana still on the peel (believe me...that is nearly impossible to do these days)

he just loves his snacks especially his "nanas"
