Doctor, Doctor!

We put together a doctor kit this month, and the kids have been loving it. I gathered a few things from around the house, then sent Rebekah (our family nursing student) to the bookstore at the hospital for some Real Doctor Things.

Did you know you can get a Real Stethoscope for less than $20?? Amazing. Rebekah helps the girls with the stethoscope.

Addie impales her patient's eyeball checks pupil dilation.

"Say 'Ah!'"

Stethoscopes feel a little weird in your ears.

Dries shows me the medicine cup. His baby drank it alllll up!

Dr. Dries, intent on his ministrations.

Dr. Ella heads for surgery.

When one says 'ah', all the mouths go open...

Ella is determined to try out all the equipment. I hope her patients survive. (If that baby doesn't develop some reflexes soon, it's going to be short a kneecap. Just sayin'.)

Dr. Ella has a decidedly impish look to her...
