As many of you know, Mikayla spends alot of time in hospitals, and has a pretty hard time when it comes to getting her IV's placed and her blood pressure taken and so forth. Well, at her last MRI we were talking to the childlife specialist and she suggested that we take an IV kit and some other medical stuff home for her to play with so that MAYBE she would play with it and get comfortable around the different items they use... Well, predictably she won't have anything to do with it, but Jaden of course LOVES it! Almost every day, he asks me if we can play "doctor stuff"... usually it's during the day when Kayla is at school, so there has never been any uproar about it, but we finally got the IV kit out when Kayla was home....
She came in to see what we were doing and we were explaining to her that all their "babies" (that's

what my kids call their stuffed animals) were sick, so we were helping them to feel better. Well, she took one look at the IV and told me her doll was NOT sick, and to take that yucky poke out of her... (naturally they didn't give us a needle, its just the catheter) and she stormed out saying she was not going to play that yucky game... That didn't change Jadens mind! He had a blast placing IV's in the babies arms, and wrapping the dolls head in a gauze bandage and putting bandages over their eyes etc... he even got the gloves on!!
Is there a doctor in the house?!?

I have been around enough with Kayla to not blame her one bit for not wanting her babies to be tortured with IVs etc. However it does sound like you have a future doctor in the house... get ready to be millionaires...
