Doctor Time

Work has been so busy lately, I've had to keep rescheduling Kaden and Kodie's check up appointments. So after two months of rescheduling, we finally got into the doctor. Kaden had his 4 yr. check up and did so good, til we started talking about shots. It was all over from there. It was all I could do to pull him out from behind the chairs, kicking and screaming. They had to call in two more nurses to come help us. It sure was easier to hold him down when he was younger and a lot smaller. Needless to say, he only got one shot in the leg (flu shot), then he also got the flumist for the H1N1 vaccine. Just my luck that they would be out of the flumist for the regular flu shot. Kodie sure did not like seeing brother tackled and crying, she just hung onto my leg and cried. Poor Brother. Little did she know she was going to get 5 shots. Poor little ones. I hate shots. Kodie passed her visit with flying colors as well. The biggest things we need to work on is getting rid of "baba" (bottle), and cutting back on how much milk my kids drink. Pretty sure we go through about 6 gallons of milk a week, and I am not a big milk drinker myself. I guess the next long weekend (which will probably be christmas) we will get rid of the bottle. Maybe I'll hold off til the New Year. Ugh, I just don't want to go through the tears and frustration. I am not looking forward to this. It is such a life saver for me and Kodie loves her baba. So if anyone has any tips on how to ease this process, Please let me know. Kaden wasn't as attached as Kodie is, so I'm not sure what to do with her.

Well here are their Stats:
KADEN:(4yrs old) weight 39 lb. (68%) Height- 42 in (76%)
KODIE: (14 mo old) weight 23 lb. 7 oz. (69%) Height 30 in (51%)

My babies are growing up way too fast.
