"My turn for pokey"

There is never a dull moment with these 3 boys around, and going to the doctor is no exception!  When we took Radley and Damon in for well-child-checkups a little over a month ago, Kyler and Damon ended up getting flu shots.  We weren't sure who should get the shot first, but we ended up deciding to let Kyler go first.  I was helping the nurse, as she was trying to calm Kyler down, while Kenney was distracting Damon.  (By some miracle, Kenney was able to go with us for this appointment.)  Kyler then started screaming, "I don't want a pokey.  I don't want a pokey."  We are not quite sure why he called the shot a 'pokey', but he kept calling it that.  Then the nurse gave him the shot, and he really started screaming.
As Kyler is screaming, like he is being pulled apart limb by limb, Damon looks at Kenney with extreme excitement on his face and says, "MY TURN FOR POKEY!!"  He put his fists up by his face and everything because he was so excited to get his 'pokey'.  He obviously did not notice that Kyler was screaming in pain!  Poor Damon didn't know that he would have to give a blood sample and get a flu shot.  Needless to say, he was not quite as excited when his finger was poked or when he got his 'pokey'.  There is a video of the boys talking about 'pokies' at the end of the post, but it's not nearly as good as the actual moment of Damon screaming, "My turn for pokey!"

This is Radley getting a pokey!  He had to get a nuclear test done before his surgery where they literally strapped him to a table, put radioactive particles into his system through an IV, and take several 'pictures' of the particles leaving his body through his kidneys.

I don't know why I think this bandage is so cute, but I do!

He has had far too many of these hospital bands in his life.

Although he has had 3 IV's, he has had at least 6 catheters, that I can think of, in his 3 short months of life!

He has pretty much returned back to normal!

All Smiles!

Isn't that a suspicious look?!?

This kid will NOT stay on his tummy.  He rolls over all the time!

He makes this face quite often when his brothers are playing too close to him.

The best picture, thus far, of these three!

This little boy has such amazing strength.  He will lunge himself at both Kenney and I any time he gets a chance and just hold on with his legs.  He now climbs up door frames!

The boys get so excited when Radley does something new. I always get updates if I am in the other room. I think Kyler is really cute in this video trying to help Radley!
