Leave Paige Alone Doctor

Today we took Paige to the doctor for a quick check to make sure everything was going good with her weight and check to see that everything was going well with her. Our pediatrician told us to go to the Saturday Morning Pediatric Clinic. We were a little worried because we know that there would be lots of sick kids that and we didn't want either of our little ones to catch anything. We found a little corner and tried to keep Ryan close. He has been cooped up in the house with us all week and has not really played with any kids so his first reaction was to be social and play. We had to keep reminding him to stay close to us. Once we got into the exam room we were told to strip the baby down to her diaper. She was not happy at all when we did that. The nurse came in to take per vitals and to weigh her. Paige started to fuss and Ryan was not happy at all. He was very concerned that his baby Paige was being touched by someone he didn't know. We explained that she was helping the doctor and Paige would be okay. he was not satisfied with that and started to cry as Paige got more upset. He finally said "No doctor!" he wanted his baby sister safe in mommy and dads arms.
It makes me happy to see how protective he is of his little sister and how much he cares about her. He has not told us to send her away or tried to get rid of her so we will see how that goes as the days go on. He has been given lots of attention my me. Everywhere I go he goes too. We run to Walmart or Target. He has been my little shadow. I am going back to work on Tuesday and am not sure how he will do with mom paying so much attention to the baby and dad not being around to make up the difference.

Ryan is so cute and he will be fine. He will turn into mommy's little helper too! Now just wait until she want's to play with Ryan's toys, that might be another story. hehe!!
