Christian Being Tortured by Parents

Okay, I just had to post this. It was too funny not to tell everyone (well, Steve and I thought it was funny but I think Christian would have a different opinion). For those of you don't know, I am diabetic and have been for a very long time. I have been quite concern about Christian becoming diabetic so I wanted to test his fasting blood sugar. One morning this week, I found the right opportunity to try testing and he went balistic. He absolutely refused and ran up to his room and hid in his closet. Steve and I discussed the matter and decided that it was important to us that we know what his fasting blood sugar level was so up to his room we went. Steve had to hold him down, grab his arm and point it towards me so that I can prick his finger and get a very small blood sample, which was very difficult to do with a wriggly, moving finger. Christian, by this time, was so upset that he was crying and screaming. You would have thought we were torturing the poor boy. And it isn't like he hasn't had needles stuck in his skin before. He just had a doctor's appointment where they got a whole tube of blood from him without a problem and a few years ago the doctor did allergy testing on him and stuck his arm like 50 times. Afterwards, he was so traumatized by what we had done to him that he decided to draw a picture. Later, he showed us the picture and Steve and I had ourselves a good laugh. This is the picture he drew of us and the episode. I have to say, he did make us look very evil!!!
