The waiting room at the doc this morning was a nightmare. We were there just to make sure Abi's cold was only a cold since she's got a pretty decent cough with it. She's going to be fine.
There were about 30 kids - and mine were the only ones that were active so it made it seem like they were bad - they just don't ever STOP and they don't listen and they tried to engage other well behaving sitting in their chair children...
They were climbing mountains, slithering snakes, had another superhero parade... methodically shredded "coupons" to make it a ticker tape parade... OMG OMG OMG
Deklan got put in time out and threw himself - knocked the back of his head on a corner wall - nice bump, lots of screaming and dramatics so much so that one lady almost missed her appt b/c she didn't hear her name being called - who could hear over Deklan screaming and Abigail loudly inquiring if he had "recussions?"
Then in the room after the nurse took vitals (which Deklan insisted she do his too) Deklan drove us mad with all his questions.
Where is the doctor? Why is Abigail the patient? Can I be the patient? Why not? But see, cough cough, I'm sick too right? ........... deep breath........... Where is the doctor? What happened to the nurse? What's that say? What's that say? What's that say? (posters everywhere)
Then the doc finally came in... and Deklan turned on him.
Why are you here? What took so long? Where is your nurse? What is in your hand? What's that paper say? Are you going to look at Abigail now? Can I have a turn? Did you know I can say aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH????
So I get him hushed as the doc is lol and Abigail is ready for her check up and he looks in her ears, eyes, throat, etc, and then gets his stethascope to listen to her breathing...
I finally get Deklan hushed and to understand finally that he has to be quiet so the doctor can listen to her heart. He's wiggling, trying so hard to be quiet... before he finally SHOUTS:
