Mom of the year here....

You know how we all know that men are big babies when they get sick right? Well, what I was not aware of was that it starts at a very young age. Ethan has been sick for the last few days and "holy mess" he's a handful. Bless his heart, I know he feels bad but the whining is getting crazy! At first I thought it was just a virus so we didn't do much for him, just gave him Tylenol and let him sleep alot. Well, today he was whining, whining, whining.....so I decided to take him to the dr. mainly to get him to be quiet. Wait for it....mom of the year here....he has STREP. So, I'm feeling horrible because he has actually been very sick. Then the doctor looks at me and asks if I want a shot or medication. The medication was one that he would have to take 3 times a day for 10 days. Now, for those of you who know Ethan usually a shot is totally not an option. However, this time I knew he had been sick for a long time and if he took the shot he would feel better much faster. So, without making eye contact with Ethan I told the doctor we wanted a shot. After the doctor leaves the room to get the nurse I look over at E and seriously, if looks could kill I would be dead. I have never seen a child look so mean. I wanted to take a picture but I was a little nervous that his eyes would be red and we might see little horns sticking out of his head. I'm not even going to go into detail about the actual shot process, not fun. We are out in the waiting room afterwards because we have to stay for 20 minutes to make sure he doesn't have a reaction. He just looks at me and says "I can't look at you, I'm so mad at you right now." So of course when we left I took him and bought him an ice cream cone.
