Little Doctor
Tonight while I was overseeing the Personal Progress activity at the Young Women activity, Tyson watched the kids. BittyBit noticed an abrasion on Tyson's knee and asked him what happened. He told her that he hurt it at Jiu Jitsu the other day. She had a ton of "why" questions for him then, and when he was finished answering all of them, she looked at him for a moment then said, "Stay right here, I'm going to make you better." She came back in the room with her Dr.'s kit and brought out her toy stethoscope. She started to put it on his knee, but when it hurt him, she put it on his chest to listen to his heartbeat. You could tell that she was paying attention at her last checkup a week ago, because she moved the stethoscope around and instructed him, "Breathe in and out slowly, like this." (As she closed her eyes and demonstrated the proper way to breathe.) "Hmm, sounds good." She took the ear pieces out of her ears and hung the stethoscope around her neck, then got eye level with Tyson. In her most serious voice she said (while wagging her finger at him),"No shots today...I'm going to give you some medicine to make you better." Then she reached over, pulled the cap off of the plastic medicine bottle that came with her toy Dr. kit, pretended to remove a pill, then handed it to Tyson. Does this kid have a future in medicine or what?
