The day we had ice in the morning, Tim drove us to get Cooper's regular blood work done. I grabbed the camera in case he let Tim hold him.... but he chose "No one. I'll sit by myself, like a big boy." ?!?! What the ?!?! The nurses eyed me cautiously, and I said in my best brave mommy voice, "Well ok then, hop up there." We're very fortunate to have great nurses who know us well enough to trust this idea! And, he did great!!! My baby boy is not so much a baby any more! Such a proud and sad day. This is all thanks to Parents Magazine and their report on pain free blood draws... EMLA numbing cream is obviously amazing!
The roads were fine by the time we finished, so, with school closed for the day we headed to the museum for a Drake Family Fun Day! We practically had the place to our selves. The kids had a great time, enjoyed digging for dinosaur bones, and playing with their pretzel snack!
