Madelynn's Favorite Christmas Present.......

In Madelynn's almost two and a half years of life she has been examined, poked, prodded and just down right been invaded. She has handled it some days better than I ever thought she would. Whenever we go to the doctor for whatever reason she is not afraid of anything except when she sees a needle coming but who wouldn't.

For Christmas, Santa brought her a little medical kit and it has become her favorite present. The tools that the doctor uses to look in your eyes, ears, nose and throat even light up like the real ones. She just loves it.

Madelynn decided recently that Mommy needed a check up. It stated out by taking my 'hairbow' out and giving me a haircut with her new cool (pretend) medical scissors. Even though the scissors don't really cut, they can get stuck in your hair and it is REALLY painful to get out. After we confirmed Mommy didn't need to donate her hair earlier than expected we moved on to all the really cool tools that light up.

The one for examining your nose was crammed up my nose and turned on I think I could have been a stand in for Rudolf thank god I have 362 days to recover. Then she decided it was time to examine my eyes. All I have to say is it was ten times worse than the puffs of air for the glaucoma test. So here's the scene.....

Mommy I need to check your eyes

Ok

Mommy I need to take your glasses and I need to hold them.

Ok but can mommy hold them

No I do it.

The next thing I know she is coming at me with something red with a light at the end and I shut my eyes.

Mommy you have to open your eyes

Ok (It is kind of hard to open your eye when the tool is pushing in your eyeball and you suddenly feel the light on the tool go on.)

No, Mommy open your eye like this.

Suddenly I feel little fingers pulling my eye lid open and bright red light coming at me.

Maddie, Honey are we done yet??

Ok, Mommy time for a shot.

As long as it isn't in the eye we are good. At this point I pretend that the shot hurt and say, "ouch!"

Maddie looks at me and says, "Mommy that didn't hurt!"

True, compared to the bright red light being crammed in my eyeball I didn't feel a thing on that shot. Oh and did I mention during this examination I was folding and putting her clothes away. I can't tell you how much I really dislike laundry.

Happy Wednesday!
