This morning I took Hampton for his bi-annual cardiologist appointment. Eric was kind to protect my sanity and offered to watch our other two so that I could go with Hampton alone. I always love one on one time with each of the children.
Hampton has been taking blood pressure medication to control the growth on the hemangioma on his eye for about two years now. We have had to do follow-up visits with the cardiologist and the opthamologist ever since.
Hampton had a big time with this chalk board in the waiting room. He kept telling me (and everyone else in the room) that he was drawing apples. He is such a ham! He was singing songs, saying hello to everyone, dancing......I texted Eric and said it was Hampton Live! in the waiting room that morning. He is definitely an extrovert.
For this appointment Hampton had to be weighed (32 pounds), measured, have his heart listened to, have his blood pressure taken, and have an EKG. For the EKG he had to have these pink stickers placed all over his chest. When she was done, the nurse took them all off and gave them to Hampton. While we were talking I noticed Hampton putting them all over his chest again very proudly.

Here he is also putting all the pink stickers on his Ernie toy.
The nurse practitioner listening to Hampton. He did great! He has a slight heart murmur, but other than that no problems. Our plan is to have him continue the medication until he turns three.
I loved my time with Hampton this morning. On the way home we stopped by Starbucks and got a special treat. I do believe he had a big time as well!
