Dr. Appt craziness

So yesterday Thing 1 had a Dr appointment for her school physical. After dropping Thing2 off at the children's waiting center (which is the best invention EVER) We were off to trek across the hospital to the Pediatricians office. The visit itself was a piece of cake really. Playing 20 questions with the doc was almost painless....... UNTIL Thing1 heard her mention shots and getting blood drawn.

I knew the shots weren't going to be a good start since she had already threatened that if shots were involved she wasn't going to school. EVER. So off to the Lab we went. She peed in the cup and thought that was just the most silliest thing in the world. We drop the pee off in the window and then head to the blood draw room.

She knew what was coming. She cried a bit. I held her in my lap and the lady was quick and it was over so fast. For being such a big girl she got candy out of the deal! Next stop Immunizations.......

She begged the whole way up to the 2ND floor. Begged the whole time waiting in line for paperwork. (i knew this wasn't going to end good.) We get in the room and she hides from the Tech. It took him a while to get all the paperwork gathered. During this time she was trying to hide under the chairs from him. I even told her I would get a shot (flu shot) to show her it doesn't really hurt that bad.

My time for a shot came and went she was still trying to hide and beg and plead no shots no shots. Now it was time for her and she KNEW IT. She went from sweet pitiful little girl to a raving lunatic in 5 seconds flat.Do you know the phrase from a movie that is "I'm gonna come at you liek a spider monkey" ? Well that is what she did to me. It was crazy. She was screaming so loud another Tech came in to help. The tech made the comment "Girl you aren't even on the table yet!" (oh yea it was that fun) So after it took 3 of us to hold her and administer the shots she got them. All FOUR.

She is still milking it today. I know it hurts and all but I think she made it hurt worse from freaking out so bad.

Oh how i dread the teen years.
