Dr. Ben
November 20th, 2010. (2 years, 5 months old.) by benIt was time to give M&D a checkup, so I got out my doctor kit to get started. First up, Daddy:
I started by listening to the heart and lungs with my steth-o-scope.
Then it was time to check out Daddy’s ears. I thought I would see if there is something wrong with his ears since he doesn’t always do what I tell him. Maybe he just can’t hear me? Turns out there was ‘food’ in there! Maybe he’ll be able to hear me better now!
Next up was Mommy. She got a blood pressure check…
… an ear exam…
… and I listened to her chest, too.
Overall, M&D are in pretty good shape. Not bad after over two years of taking care of me!
Ben was very serious about these check ups. It was so cute!
Wow! It looks like Ben is a natural born doctor. It appears that he knows just how to use all that complicated medical equipment. It also appears that he is using his gentle hands when checking out M&D. It will be good to have a doctor in the family when M&D get older!
I get such a kick out of seeing Ben absorbed in whatever he is interested in at the time—whether it be giving a doctor’s checkup or making a pile of something and pretending to move things from one place to another, just as if he were really an adult doing it. Ben is like a little sponge taking in everything. It is really fun seeing things from a 2-year-old perspective.
Glad to see mom and dad are in good health! Way to go Dr. Ben!
