Benjamin wins

Working in a childrens hospital lends itself to my observing different children and their behavior A LOT. This past week Ben has had two tests done, trying to figure out why he's got the junky lung cough/respiratory infections so much. Both times the technicians have commented on how chill and calm and just go-with-the-flow he is. This morning he had a scan of his stomach for ONE HOUR, after drinking chocolate milk with radioactive dye in it. He had to lie flat on his back, while "strapped in" with athletic tape across his waist. We watched Cinderella and he squirmed maybe four times. By squirmed I mean, slightly rolled to his right towards me. That was it. The technician was floored by him. He is so willing to try what people ask him, if it seems genuine and like it won't hurt him.
The technician warned me that most time for the first 20 minutes, the kids are twisting and turning trying to get out, then 20 minutes they get used to it and the last 2o minutes are "pretty rough." Well luckily for me, not my Benjamin.
He got his stickers, which he proudly put all over the wagon (that's how kids get around in childrens hospitals). We went to the cafeteria and had breakfast when we were finished. Then we did a quick stroll around the floors, saying hi to my coworkers. It was so nice to spend some time with just him and he's such a good boy.
Benjamin, hands down no question about it, wins the award for most chill 2 year old boy.
*Disclaimer: This is not to say that we don't have our moments of 2 year old melt downs. Boy do we, for instance over eating more than one Tagalong girl scout cookie in a seating. But by and large, he just likes to live life happily and enjoy it.
