Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News...

Brik got a doctor kit for Christmas, he had a lot of fun with it and knew just what to do with every piece since he had just had his 3 year well visit. At his visit the nurse rolled up his sleeve to take his blood pressure, later when the doctor brought the stethoscope to her ears, Brik began to pull his sleeve up again. He was a super patient for the entire visit. I attribute it to the thorough prep I give my children before their visits (Layne did not even cry for his kindergarten shots) One unforeseen event came up, the doctor had a doctor in training with her. So the doctor in training did a check up first on her own. When she left the room, Brik got upset and was crying out "but she didn't check my penis!" He was relieved when he learned that the real doctor would come back and be sure to look at his penis.

Sunday Brik wasn't feeling good, so Layne took the opportunity to play doctor. After giving him shots, listening to his chest and tapping various parts of his body asking if it hurts, he got out the clip board, found a pen and very seriously asked Brik "Are you peeing and pooping okay?" Apparently that is what he remembers from his last visit.

The blood pressure cuff wouldn't fit Jarom, so Brik made do with it around Dad's wrist.

Shots are his favorite. He likes it when we say ouch and cry.


But always lovingly bandages the poke.
