Dr. Tinkerbell

Madison gave all of us check-ups today, using her doctor's kit complete with a stethoscope, otoscope, and a sphygmomanometer. You may have to look those last two up!

The funny part is that she did all of this dressed up as Tinkerbell, complete with wings. She came down the stairs all dressed up as if to say, "ta-da!" Then she showed us her medical bag and we knew it was time to make sure everyone was healthy. Madison's favorite part of the checkup is giving us all a shot. She even gives a little countdown before injecting the imaginary vaccine into our arm. Then comes the fun part: the band aid. She checks for temperature, and gives us the all clear. Don't worry - she doesn't ask about insurance or anything like that.

She's very into the details of the procedure, and after giving the four of us a thorough checkup, she then visited the other stuffed animals in the room to make sure each was healthy and well. First, she made a housecall to Mr. Peanut, who I'm happy to report got a clean bill of health. Pictured here is Lumpy the Elephant (from Winnie the Pooh), who is about to get a shot right on the trunk. Although this is might sting a bit, it's for Lumpy's own good! We don't want anyone in the house getting sick now, do we?

Today: Madison, Mommy, Ba-Ba and Nana spent most of their time at the old house again, fixing it up and preparing it for the market. Daddy spent most of his time at church, working in various functions. It's been a good day, but tomorrow will be a big day for us as the furniture movers will be taking the big stuff over to our new house. Amongst the items: our bedroom furniture. We're excited about staying in our master bedroom now - especially on our bed. Daddy misses that water bed. It was designed by NASA scientists and is easily the most comfortable bed in the entire known universe!
