my ear hurts mommy...

These are the words that have spread like wild fire across this house the past two weeks. It seems that just when we get a child well another one gets sick. sigh... Yes two of them had ear infections at different times but are they really getting each other sick? I mean an ear infection is not contagious. One child said their ear hurt & after being checked it was A OK. SO what is this mommy to think? The minute they said "I want to go to the Doctor Mommy", I got suspicious. You see most children do NOT like going to the Doctor even if they are under the weather. I started thinking of what they LOVED about their Pediatricians office. Here's the list I compiled...

1. She is one of the nicest Doctors we know. She's always explaining what she is doing so not freak them out.

2. She has a HUGE chalkboard painted on the wall in the waiting room for them to draw on. VERY cool! Check out the person Cam drew!



3. They give out stickers & lollipops after each appointment. Who wouldn't LOVE that!



That's it!! It has to be the lollipops! No child can pass up a goody! (= Not that they don't love Dr Mahoney but I really do think they like getting the treat! Hmm... I think I am going to pay closer attention the next time they say...
