Adelle has mentioned several times recently that she wants to be a doctor. She enjoys gathering random items from around the house to be used for her doctor equipment (stethoscope, thermometer, tongue depressor, etc). And she really enjoys playing with the play doctor equipment at Grandma and Grandpa Grish’s (we got to visit a couple weeks ago).
On Wednesday this past week, Adelle decided to play doctor. I was curious to find out what equipment she would be using this time. She was holding on to her play tool box complete with hammer, saw, screwdriver, etc. I was instructed to lie on the couch while she checked the baby out. I wasn’t sure what to think when she pulled out the saw and said she would be cutting my stomach open. She told me that she wanted to cut me open, pull the baby out to check it, put the baby back in, then hammer me back together again. I tried to explain that doctors normally use an ultrasound machine to look at the new baby, but there was no convincing her that the saw wasn’t necessary. So, she “cut” me open with the saw to check out the baby then used the hammer to put me back together. Should I be concerned??
