A doctor!
This post was written by Patrick
We went to the doctor today for a checkup for the first time! (Well, besides the ones Mrs. brenda did for a while after I was born.) It was alright…I had to get nekked and they pulled my legs and checked my thighs. That tickled, so I laughed at the silly lady. They put me on a boat-looking thing and said I was “21 pounds”….whatever that means…..then they stretched me out and said I was “27 1/2 inches.” they looked in my mouth with a flat dry thingy, and it was kinda funny at first. But then I didn’t care for that because I was hoping it was a boobie, and it was not. So then I cried until I got some milk, and that was nice.
The doctor lady was very quick, and didn’t really play with me much. I peed on her table after she didn’t put my diaper back on tight enough and it leaked out. heehee… I wish Mrs. Brenda did my checkup! She always had lots of time for questions, and she played with me more. Mommy says we will have to look into this, and also some other things the doctor mentioned that she isn’t sure are true and/or wouldn’t be best for me.
I still didn’t nap for a while until after noon in the car on the way home. I think Mommy left me in the car for a while when we got home because I was finally sleeping. (She kept checking on me every few minutes, though.)
Then this evening I got to lick some homemade bread! I tried to grab it and stick it in my mouth, but Mommy wouldn’t let me very long. But she did let me have some polenta from her plate at dinner! It tasted like Herbes d’ Provence, or however you spell it. I think I kept most of it in my mouth. I licked some homemade salad dressing off her finger, too. All in all, a pretty eventful day!
