The Doctor

I took the littles to their annual well visits last week.  Why on earth I scheduled these things in the height of flu, vomiting and step season, I really can’t say.  At any rate, I wanted to take a few minutes to dazzle you with some of the gems coming out of our excursion.  Just stripping down to their undies had them both uncontrollably laughing, and somehow both ended up cajoling our awfully patient doctor into using the stethoscope.

See this precious child?  According to him, he bathes “about once a week” and “usually doesn’t ride in a booster.”  Both of which are complete untruths!  He doesn’t bath every single night – I mean, we do like our PJ days now and again – but that is hardly the norm.  And as far as the car seat, he always always always rides in it with us.  There has been an occasion when we found out he was with a friend and didn’t, but we always offer a seat and certainly always buckle up our friends when in our car.  Oh, and this one is good… he said that his bedtime is sometimes midnight.  I’ll have you know that “sometimes” is really “one time on New Year’s eve”.

As far as the baby.  Well, let me just see…  he started off claiming that he doesn’t go to school and when I protested he admitted that he would just rather be home.  *awwwww*  He said that his favorite center is “outside center” and that he doesn’t know any letters (“Letters?  I not even know any of those.”)  Again, far, far from the truth.  In fact, he’s already finished his “z” letter bag at school.  What on earth?!?!

Those two are always good for a good laugh.  Although, I’ll be the first to admit the laugh is usually on me.  I cannot tell you how glad I am that these appointments are once a year now, rather than the every few months we had to do with infants.  Of course, then they couldn’t talk…

  1. I got such a giggle from you boys' visit to the doctor, and sent it to my son who has a 5 and 2 yr, old. They just had their check ups, too.
    So funny!

  2. LOL- That is tooo funny. Oh- the stories those kids come up with. At least he didn't talk about YOU being naked or something! xo Diana

  3. That is so funny! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has children that turn into little liars as soon as the walk into the pediatricans office :) Thanks for the laugh!

  4. My son's doctor used to crack up on our visits…a constant battle of he said, she said. And I hate to tell you this, but it didn't stop until he turned 18 and wouldn't let me go back with him…lol.

  5. This brings back such memories! I bet doctors could write better books than teachers could about the things children tell them. When my son was about three, my husband took him for the check-up. When I asked my son how it went, he said the doctor said his private parts were REALLY BIG. What! Come to find out, what the doctor said was the word "amazing"… but she was talking about how amazingly tiny his hernia scar was….which was in that same area. My kids also told the doc that they didn't wear seat belts, play outside or eat veggies. And, they usually wore socks and undies with holes in them.
