Makenna has long been very interested with taking care of animals and people. Ever since I can remember she has played the role of doctor/veternarian in regularity with seriousness and precision. I don't think there are many six year olds that can tell you a stethoscope is used to listen to your heart and stomach and a sphygmomanometer is used to measure your blood pressure but that's just the beginning of her knowledge. If her future endeavors include medicine in some fashion, I will be the first to say that I'm not in the least surprised.
And now that concept has been reinforced by their recent favorite television show, Dr. McStuffins, a Disney Junior program. The animated show is about a 6 year old little girl who communicates and heals her stuffed animals and toys. Rylan has eagerly joined the team of medical professionals and boy oh boy are our stuffed animals are filled with complaints and ailments ranging from broken bones to fevers to chicken pox. With the team to diagnose and treat, the patients are soon on the mend, only to have more animals fall victim.
It is the first thing they play in the morning and the first thing to do after school. You see, the vet office becomes very backed up during the day. They take turns documenting and treating, creating a true successful treatment plan. Little kitty came in the office not feeling well and had a bit of a cold and a fever.
But the staff of two took care of her and made her feel all better with some medications and lots of TLC. Life is good. So very good.
