Boohoo

This picture sums up Drew's day today.
He had his 1-year check-up that included 3 shots and a blood screening.
After the nurse pricked his finger and spent FOREVER getting all the blood she needed, she smacked on a bandaid. Despite my warning that he'd yank it right off with his teeth. Which he did. So she put on gauze wrapped w/medical tape. Then a bandaid on top of that. And MORE tape on top of that. It worked. And after 3 hours (a nap was in there) he still didn't have it off.

So I helped him remove it only to find a scene of carnage in the kitchen a little later.
Like something had been slaughtered. Okay maybe just a few large, juicy ants.
But there was a blood trail.
Bandaid is back on.

PS He is 29 1/2" and 18 lbs 12 oz (to correct myself from what I thought he was on his birthday)

PS #2 Justin took the DLAB this morning. We won't know the results for 2 weeks but he FEELS good about it. This marks the first time he's ever felt good after taking it. He wants to learn Arabic through the military and needs a score of 110 out of 120 to be eligible. The first time he took it he was 3 points short (over 3 years ago and also he only needed 100 then instead of 110). He's taken it pretty much every 6 months (the required waiting time between tests) since then and is always SO close. So hopefully 3rd (or 4th or 5th) time's a charm! Cross your fingers!
