The poor thing was hiding under a fryer in their foyer. None of the employees (includin the guys) would pick it up. I had to do it for them.
I should have held out for a gift certificate to compensate me for "pest control" duties.

Sportman's Warehouse...SportsWIMP's Warehouse?
You have to wonder what's up when a bunch of Sportsmen's Warehouse employees have to have a customer get rid of a baby snake for them. Yep.

My Big, Brave Boy
Because of his Pistachio Incident just after Christmas, we went to see an Allergist today. (He has given me the official "good Mother" seal of approval, because I not only had an Epi-pen for Nolan, but I had it in my purse.)
As part of the appointment, Nolan had to have blood drawn for the allergy tests they are going to do. The nurse who drew the blood was amazing, and was able to tell Nolan what was going on without causing any apprehension on his part. So many times when you speak reasurringly to a little tyke, they figure out in a big hurry that there is or will be something in the near future that they *need* to be worried about.
She also had a parent system. She had me lay on the table with Nolan, in a spoon position. His feet got trapped between my knees, his head was in the crook of my arm, and my other arm layed over him. He obviously felt very safe and secure. He did cry when they put the needle in his arm, but forgot all about the needle when the nurse handed him a vial of his own blood to hold while she drew the other 2 vials. Nolan thought (and I quote) it was "AWESOME!"
So hopefully, this has set the stage for other shots and blood draws. He was a very brave boy.
