On Sunday, we spent the day sightseeing with a friend and her daughter. Our friend is a pediatrician. She's very knowledgeable and passionate about children and health care.She's not Critter's Baby Doctor. I wish she was, but she lives in another state.
Whenever, we see her, I want to ask her so many questions about baby related stuff. But I feel it's not appropriate; she's not on duty, she probably doesn't want to be bombarded with questions while hanging out with friends. After all, Critter does have a pediatrician that I should brooch concerns/questions to. But yet, I can't help but want to hear our friend's opinion about certain issues. I always want to ask her for advice.
I always wonder, when she's holding Critter, if she's 'examining' him. Does she check him out to make sure he's Okay? Is she looking at him and wondering certain things? Does she want to say something to Hubby and me about Critter's health?
Every time we see her, after Critter was born; before meeting her, I have a talk with Critter. I tell him to be on his best behavior and not to sneeze, cough, or display any signs of sickness. I always feel like if she sees him and he's sick, she'll think I don't know what I'm doing as a mother and wonder how could I allow my child to get sick.
While we were with her on Sunday, Critter coughed twice. I cringed. She didn't say anything.
Is there anything more annoying than the Chipmunks?!?!? Sorry, but I couldn't find another version of this song.
I'm picturing you lecturing your 9 month old son about not coughing in front of people.
