Dr. Gold

No, Caleb has not started wearing glasses. Apparently, since we have been seeing so many doctors lately (just when we were done with all of his, it was my turn), he is finding it fun these days to play doctor (get your minds out of the gutter...he actually likes to pretend he's a doctor). He listens to my heart with the "peliscope", takes my temperature under my armpit - you'll be glad to know it was 26-8 today :) he then takes my blood pressure with the "schwee-schwee" (the sound we make to pretend to pump the BP cuff). Then he gives me a shot, but first tells me there will be "just a little pinch."

For some reason, in his mind a doctor has to wear glasses. So when his pretend glasses kept falling off, I lent him mine.

Today I asked him if he was Dr. Caleb. He looked at me very seriously and said, "No, I'm Dr. Gold!" I guess I'm living with 2 Dr. Golds, now.

But, alas, all that doctoring is very tiring work. Even doctors must sleep sometimes.


Here is a photo of the original glasses. Not quite as functional, but still pretty cute.
