Flashback about a week...Brody had a sucker, but told Kaleb he could eat it. However, before Kaleb had the opportunity a little neighbor friend got a hold of it and ate it. This left Kaleb without a sucker and Brody feeling sorry for him...now fast forward to today.
Brody had a trip to the doctors office today. He is the second victim in our house to be plagued with strep throat. Unfortunately for him the doctor opted for a penicillin shot. To make matters worse, our boy who once did a great impression of the Michelin Man was told he didn't have enough meat on his thighs, so he had to bare his bum.
The nurse told Jennifer she would need to hold him down. Jennifer simply replied, "No I wont, he will be fine." Skeptically the nurse proceeded with the shot, which took quite a long time because it is such a thick liquid.
Embarrassment aside, Brody was still for her and didn't even cry. The nurse was quite shocked. Afterwords he was allowed to get a sucker. Through all the pain and embarrassment he carried the sucker to the car and didn't eat it. Jennifer asked why he wasn't eating it and he relayed the story and let her know he was going to give it to Kaleb. Jennifer lovingly had to convince him it would be OK if he ate the sucker, he had earned it.
BTW, Mia had to go back and get four immunization shots and didn't cry either...amazed the nurses again.
These kids ROCK!!!

I love to hear stories like that... it gives me hope for my kids! And I can say the opposite for Scotlan and his last round of shots. He had the waiting room laughing as he yelled how mean and what a bad person the nurse was.
I love that he was thinking of his brother even though he was in pain. Kids are awesome!
oh, that is so sweet! what a good heart.
I almost want to cry reading this. Soooo cute!
That is SO sweet!!! May we all have parenting moments like that to fall back on when they seem to only know how to fight.
