took august to get some blood drawn today.

he was SUCH A TROOPER.

he smiled at both nurses right up until the needle went in his arm. cried a lot, of course. i’m sure that there are some adults that cry just as much. and, as soon as the needle was out and he was bandaged, he was all smiles. and with a red, tear soaked face. he even gave the nurse that stuck him a huge smile before we left.

it is so hard to see your child in pain and not be able to console him right away. at one point, i looked down and saw the needle in his arm and had to look away just as soon as i had looked…singing “the wheels on the bus” in his ear to comfort him.

don’t know if it was more comforting to him or me.

he was so brave, though.

so much so that i couldn’t help but buy him a toy while at the store. his first toy car. teaching him that it goes, “vroooom!” he finds that most amusing.
