Besides being obsessed with clowns or anything clown related, my daughter's next favorite thing is doctors (or baby dolls, it's a toss up). She has a doctor set at home which she loves to use any chance she gets. Once, while on a visit to Charleston, my Uncle Tommy (who is a vet) gave her a real stethescope - she LOVES it! Lilly loves going to visit her doctor and she knows her name even though we really only see her once or twice a year.
Recently, I have been feeling under the weather, so I decided to go into a nearby clinic just to get checked out. My daughter loved watching the doctor check me out and she listened to every word he said. After picking up my medicine from the pharmacy, she would remind me that I needed to take my medicine.
About a week after going to the clinic, I went in for another visit with my regular physician. Lilly, again, went with me. She was very content to watch me get checked out and she even offered to hold my hand while I got my blood drawn. It didn't bother her one bit that I had a needle going in my arm.
After my doctor's visit, I had to take some more medicine which could not be taken with milk or milk products. Once she learned this, Lilly was very quick to remind me that I could not take that medicine with milk and then telling me what I could take it with - juice or water. lol
This little girl is the same way at the dentist. She loves her dentist and enjoys reading all kinds of books about dentists, doctors, EMT's, etc. Jokingly, we said she would probably be a clown dentist or a clown doctor - she thinks these are great ideas. Who knows? Maybe she will be a clown doctor like Patch Adams one day.
