Now, mine are all under 5, but STILL! No joke, the first time I took 2 kids to the dr. office, my oldest, Logan :), decided to act out and hit me!! He had NEVER done this before and has never since. Nice timing dude. He also decided instead of sitting down, he'd turn the light off and then walk out the exam room door. THere I stood pinning a naked newborn onto the table while my 2 year old walked out the door and ignored the Dr.'s and my calls to him. THEN, once my 3rd was born, I thought my daughter had a bladder infection. Knowing our Dr. office history, I asked the nurse on the phone if I could bring a pee sample in instead of doing it there. I mean, can you imagine trying to get a urine sample from a 3 year old girl with a baby on your hip and a 5 year old in tow? I felt so prepared to arrive WITH the sample. Should be an in and out trip. BUT, Logan decides this was the exact perfect moment to mouth off. WHen the Dr. left the room to check the test, I took him by the arm, sat him down, and told him he was in big trouble. Upset that I had to physically sit him down, he yells, "Hey, you're hurting me!" right as the Dr. walked back into the room!!! I don't know if I've ever been so embarrased, pissed, and a bit scared in my whole parental life. Now, for the record, let me just say that Logan is a very good boy....a pleaser of a kid. Why he chose the drs office to perform random acts of chaos and rebellion is beyond me.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609156261526292680noreply@blogger.com
