My kids love playing with Drew's doctor "toys." They even have a real stethescope that is theirs to play with. Lucas recently discovered that you can listen with the ear pieces instead of just chew on them. He was pretty impressed.
Elena thinks that she is a doctor. She does a pretty impressive imitation of the pediatrician's examination. Not only do they love pretending to be doctors, but Elena actually loves going to the doctor. She begs to go. We have to sing songs about the doctor. We even dressed her up as a doctor for match day and Halloween.
Yesterday we took Lucas in for a well-child check up. He did great. He let the doctor poke and prod him. Then it came time to give him shots. Elena loves this part. She gets her face right up to his leg to get a good look. This time she rubbed his arm to calm him down and even wiped a tear from his cheek while telling him it would be OK. She patted his band-aids and protectively cautioned the nurse that her brother now had "owies" and we had to be careful.
It was so cute to watch her take such good care of her "brudder." I think they'll both make excellent doctors someday.
