Oh I can so relate!! the best was the reverse with my oldest—always feeling “sick” before school so I kept sending him and when he got to school, went to the nurse, he was fine. After finally convincing the teachers/nurse that he really was ok–I got a phone call from the sub nurse saying he wasn’t feeling well. I let out a big sigh and started in on the story of yes, I know, he’ll be fine, send him to class, etc—the nurse listens to the whole story and simply said, “yes, I have that on his record—but this time he has 103 fever and vomited all over my office”. Oops—I’ll be right there kids….

Kid are the best, they give me duh moments daily. Great story, the role would be reversed on my part. Mommy would be the one to say let’s look at the fish and I can only scratch my head and think to myself “sucker.” Then if there’s a next time my child could be dying and i would not take him to the Dr. and mom would school me again and take sweet child of mine to the doctor and look at me like are you stupid.

looking at this from the other side of parenting….oh yeah baby, laughing hard!!!

don’t you just love that feeling that they really are smarter than you and somehow God has reversed our roles?

hang in there, before you blink, Connor will be calling you because his kid is doing it to him!!!

You guys are funny! I am thankful for your comments and that you can commiserate with me as a parent!

For the record, Connor did the same thing this morning. Took him to see his doctor. He’s got the flu. The doctors explanation for the ‘eye’ thing… “Kids do wierd things when they’re sick.”

To quote my friend, Cathi, “And that little gem was worth $150, wasn’t it?”

I never want to be mean but every time one of my boys does something like that I give them the, “if you keep this up we are going to have to go and get a big shot.” That usually stops it cold. I hope Connor is Ok, gotta love the ER

That kid has some crazy strong resolve to keep his eyes closed that long. I’m impressed.

HA! Chandler has done that sort of thing, those nurses are always willing to see what he comes up with. Usually is heavily tainted food that was NOT supposed to be made with nuts, but somehow were giving hugs by another nut infested cookies and caught the disease. I feel you sister!! (but seriously haha!)

Kids…that story would sound crazy if you don’t have at least one kid.

B/4 kids you are in Wall-mart and you stare at the parent with “that kid” you know the one freaking out. 3 years later you are “that parent” with “that kid”.

Somethings you can understand by reading about them. Like thermodynamics, others have to be experienced like toddlers. Great story thanks for making all of us parents of toddlers feel “normal”.
