Getting Our Stitches Out!

So...five days after the field trip to Williamsburg, it was back to the doctor to have the stitches removed. I was a little nervous, but figured Christopher would do okay. I headed up to Ft. Eustis to their Urgent Care facility. I was hoping that I could get in and out. What I discovered is that they have changed the way they do things. You now need an appointment to be seen at their urgent care and you have to be a patient there. So...off we went to Langley. (I hate going there! I have NEVER had good luck with urgent care there.) Today was no different. We had to wait for about an hour. (Not too bad, but longer than I wanted to wait to have three stitches removed) We went back and then it was pretty fast. The nurse came back first and then the doctor. Then the nurse came back with someone to "hold" Christopher's head. He was so good. They barely held his head at all. He stayed nice and still and continued to amaze me with how brave and calm he was. This whole experience has just shown me what a little man I have. I guess he really is growing up! I know he will always be my baby, but he isn't a baby anymore!
