heather is braver than her mom!!

We went to the dermatologist today--Heather and I. It was hard to hear that she wanted to take the (i forget what she called it--it basically was a little blood balloon that formed probably as a result of some sort of scratch or sometihng) thing off and mentioned novicane, cutting, etc. that is the same as removing a mole. With the thing so close to Heather's eye I was very concerned about if she would sit still and the doctor assured me that she would have help holding her still and it would be fine--much easier than anesthesia or something of the like which they couldn't even do in her office. So on we forged, both Heather and mom stressing out a bit. heather did great. Less struggling than I expected and she was pretty relaxed about the whole thing. The doctor brought in the "holding team" to brace her head, arms, and legs, but I don't think the latter two had a lot to do. She sat pretty still and did scream when teh novicane was in (5 sec.) as we all want to when someone numbs us, but lay still with her eyes closed while the doctor did the removal and then pretty still while she did the burning thing that they do to close up the injury--except that it makes that buzzing sound when they do it so that was a bit scary--mostly for me who didn't get to close my eyes for fear of looking like a baby...after it was over Heather said taht it really only hurt for 5 seconds like the doctor said and commented on how brave she was (much more so than I was)!

Charlie's funny moment for the day was driving over to our friend's house for lunch charlie was asking about how fast we were going and if it was what the police man said to go. He commented that sometimes daddy (who got a ticket in OH) goes faster than the police man says and that, "daddy is not a good driver!" It was really funny :-). We have two friends over for the day and night and most of tomorrow so our house is full for the rest of the day!
