Example

Yesterday Ethan had a 15 month doctors appointment and I was excited because I thought he wouldn't have to have any more shots until 18 months. I hate watching them give him shots, so if that was the case I was going to bring Eric to stay there with him. But I assumed he wouldn't need any more till the next appointment, so I told Eric to stay home. I was wrong. Not only did he have 2 of his normal shots (which they warned me would swell more than previous shots, and he may have a very swollen leg for a few days) but I forgot we were going to have him tested for a few allergies which meant he had to have blood drawn. He's had blood drawn several other times for tests and I always wish Eric was there to hold him still instead of me, but once again I was there for it. It was over quickly and they gave him a sticker afterwards to calm him down, but he was still crying a little when I went back to the room to get him dressed so we could leave. He didn't want to be set down, but once I got him on the doctors exam table to redress him, he just looked up at me, still sniffling, and folded his arms. So we said a little prayer together and he was fine after that. Such a sweet guy and a great example to me! We've been teaching him to fold his arms for prayers the last little while, but thats the first time he did it without us telling him to. Apparently he knew what would make him feel better, and I'm grateful for his example.
