Something very strange happened today at the docs office - Colin got a shot and he didn't shed a single tear. We were assigned the "Star Wars Room" at Austin Pediatrics. Let me describe this room for anyone who is not familiar - this room is filled with Star Wars toys and posters. There are star ships suspended from the ceiling, shadow boxes with action figures in every corner, and the light sabers are...let's just say, abundant.
Colin is the magical age where he is starting to notice things like this for the first time, and he was in hog heaven (David would have been too). He was looking around in amazement right when the nurse gave him the shot. I held my breath and Colin's eyes got big but there were no tears and no screams. He shrugged it off like a pro!
In fact, he was such a happy and talkative guy this afternoon that our pediatrician said he got the award for "the most talkative 4 mo old." Colin was definitely showing off, and he did so at the top of his little lungs! His incessant babbling was so loud that I could hardly converse with Dr. Miller. We are increasing his reflux medicine to 1 ml 2x/day and other than that we have a happy, healthy, future Star Wars fan on our hands. :)
That is a precious picture of lil man and his daddy! So glad to hear that the appointment went well and that Colin was such a champ. Love you all :)
