My 8 yr old had to have blood tests every few months from birth until 2 years old for a thyroid problem, which thankfully corrected itself, and he was braver than me too. Not to the point of giggling though. That's amazing.

There are roaming entertainers for those waiting and treat boxes with helium balloons attached for the victorious. All went ok, until a random, post-traumatic-stress outburst of tears a fortnight later. "Mummy- you SAID it wasn't going to be awful!! *sooooooob*" :( Just when I thought I'd gotten through that one, Mummy guilt took hold and sent me straight to the supermarket for some dreaded rainbow icecream.Twitchynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-84276488001843305052013-01-13T11:37:09.473+11:002013-01-13T11:37:09.473+11:00Ha- Noodle Chop.
