We had a little brotherly altercation this week at a family dinner....it was not intentionally and it happened on the stairs which is not a good place for little boys to play and it ended with little Brody being rushed to the hospital bleeding and needing 3 staples in the back of his head! Dylan stayed with us and he was really concerned about his brother and once they were reunited they have been particularly close.....even sleeping together at our house.....they usually want their own rooms.....
Since I am always looking for learning opportunities and in this case it was to teach about people getting hurt and healing and caring for them and they get better I went on the hunt for a doctor kit...found this one complete with Dr. jacket and face mask....
A far cry from the old kits I was used to get in the late 50's.....my sister was the worst kid ever to go to the doctor....at family gatherings we still laugh out loud at her antics....those poor nurses....I am sure they hated seeing her as much as she hated going....for those of you who know her and want to hear great stories....ask her....anyway, I digress....when I was really good at the doctor my mom would take me to Newberry's and buy me a doctor kit....of course, little girls were suppose to get the Nurses kit, but my mom was way ahead of her time and let me get the 'more masculine' doctor kit....I remember how much fun I had with it...back then they came with real sugar pills and eye glasses that you propped on your nose and tongue depressors....my dolls really got a workout after my doctor visits.....so this morning when Kristen picked up Brody for soccer, Dylan stayed behind with us for a couple of hours. Out came the new Dr. Kit.....I let him pick the 'patients' and explain to the patients what he was doing and why....he was incredibly gentle and kind....and he picked all animals....they all got shots! He removed several fleas and Snoopy even had a baby bird in his ear that he removed. Once their exam was completed they all got band aids and stickers for being good!!
Gently and kind Dr. Dylan....checking the heart on doggy.....when he applied shots I would pretend to cry and he said 'that is not necessary, this will only pinch a little....
so many patients all healed with bandaids and stickers.....
Thank you, Dr. Dylan, for healing the sick and being such a wonderful caregiver
