Awesome Dad Status in Jeopardy (Not According to Jax Though)

A day of highs and lows documented below:

Dad taking Jax for his flu shot… No big deal right???!!? Forgot a hat and it’s freezing out. No problem just make a bonnet out of a hoodie and tuck it in.

Get the pediatrician’s office and can’t remember if he’s had his 1st flu shot. Nurse does a computer check… Problem averted. Flu shot done, 15 seconds of crying and 10 minutes of flirting with the nurses (him not me), no allergic reaction and we’re out.

Quick text from mom to make sure I remembered the bottle so he can eat before I head to the chiropractor. The response of “I thought you said bottle after Chiro,” did nothing for my great dad status. No issues he held out and smashed a 6oz bottle when we got home.

Squeeze in a nap for baby, Buster, Max and dad and everyone is feeling as refreshed as a teacher after summer break.

Second quick text from mom to make sure I remembered to feed him his oatmeal when he woke up. The response of “I thought you said bottle after nap?,” did nothing for my ever dwindling great dad status. He smashed a second 6oz bottle and dad is now his new favorite person!

We then proceeded to play with EVERY.SINGLE toy he owns. I ran out of things to do. We cleaned, we organized, we sang (well I sang which made him cry… So much for my American Idol auditions).

When all was said and done… We both made it through the day unscathed. With my ego and dad status little worse for the wear, and Jax with a full belly.

5.7.14 – Pediatrician’s Office

This place is a mad house. It’s like a middle school lunch wave. Children running wildly throughout the room, adults looking like they have no idea how to quiet them down and a jostling for seating position that would rival even the most popular kids’ table.

I notice though as soon as one kid starts acting up the other parents start tossing around dirty looks and whispering. Please, I just saw your Hanson looking kid with his hands in the fish tank. And you, Kirsten Dunst look a like, your yoga pants and extra make up is not going to attract you a doctor here. It’s 9AM, worry more that your 3 year old is licking the floor.

PS- Jax is up to 6lbs 13.5oz. Way to go kid. (Not that I’m surprised he gained weight, every time I turn around you’re hanging off mom!)
