This is just funny so I thought I would post it. Lia tells us often that she is going to be a doctor (and a wonder pet ballerina). We are not sure where her inspiration comes from but she always wants to bring aide to anyone in need and is fascinated by any "ouie" that someone might have. She tell us that dr's help people and make them better so that's what she's going to do when she's "big."
A few days ago Lia asked me a question that made me laugh. Her question, "Mom, can you take your skin off so I can see your blood and bones?" I tried to explain that I couldn't do that (the thought of peeling back my skin for her to have a quick view is just disturbing) but would try to find a picture of what our blood and bones look like. Her questions about our anatomy came again today so I decided to do a little google search of the human anatomy. For about 30 minutes she sat mesmerized as I showed her picture of our nervous, skeletal, and digestive systems. She loves it and if it wasn't for her favorite show coming on she would have continued sitting on my lap as we explored--the human body is quite amazing!!
Perhaps this desire to be a Dr when she is big is exactly what she will be . . . she could have completed anatomy by then if we keep spending time on innerbody.com.
Smiling.
