When we were in the doctor's office (yes, again) yesterday, the Cita and the Dude were having a grand old time zooming around the room on the doctor's stool, climbing up on the examination table to kick their legs and hear that lovely rustling sound, and generally amusing themselves (the Cita only got to wash her hands once, though).
As soon as the doctor smilingly opened the door, the atmosphere changed from fun to terrifying. I think people in white coats are going to be on the Cita's blacklist for a while (well, if one of them made your mommy hold your hands down and another person to hold your head while they shined bright lights into your eyes or stuck many pricks into your leg, you might be wary, too).
Frantically waving her hands "goodbye, Goodbye, GOODBYE!" she scrambled into my lap and huddled there like a cold puppy. The doctor was a good sport and didn't take it personally. Rosita whimpered and struggled against getting her eyes ("goodbye!") and ears ("goodbye!")and throat ("GOODBYE!!!") checked. For some reason, she didn't mind getting her chest listened to or her tummy squished about. Maybe she thought the doctor was as interested in her bellybutton as SHE is.
Diagnosed as "nothing much to worry about," the Cita vigorously kept waving the doctor out the door, extremely satisfied that she had (eventually) succeeded in getting the nasty lady in the white coat to go AWAY.

Landon had a slight freak out at the doctor yesterday too! He climbed up on my belly like a monkey - much to the dismay of the baby IN my belly :). He actually only freaked out when the man came in to measure him, etc. When the lady doctor came in he was fine!
P.S. I'm really glad to here that the Cita is doing ok :).
That is hilarious. Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye! Except for the belly button part. I just completely laughed when I read your post. Glad you guys are all hopefully getting back on the healthy track!
S-Boogie does the same thing at the doctor (and we're there way too often with her, ahem). Last year she had impacted wax in her ears and they had to flush it out with warm water. She kept crying and sobbing "I'm done, no thank you. No thank you, I don't want any." Last week when they were stitching up her chin she did the same thing. It was numb so she couldn't feel anything, but halfway through she got overwhelmed by having to lie down still and be surrounded by strange people doing stuff to her.
