Dr. Sophie at Buckroe Beach, Hampton, VAThe girls have each had their own doctor's kit for a while now, and shortly after, Sophie started her own practice and has an office in the front bedroom of our house (Mary and Sophie's room). She'll often go to her office to get a bit of work done or you'll catch her and Mary taking turns listening to each others hearts (and saying, "ba boom, ba boom").
This story takes place after nap time in the girls' room (um, Dr. Sophie's office). I'm just hanging out talking to them and Sophie starts to look at my ear, then decides she needs to take a closer look.
Sophie: Mommy, I need to listen to your ear. I'll be right back. (turns around in doorway, looking serious) I'm a doctor.
Mary (while Sophie's getting her kit): Mommy, I have a boo boo here on my foot.
Mommy: Well, the doctor will be back in a minute. Why don't you let her take a look at it? (Sophie returns.) After you look at my ear, could you take a look at my friend Mary? She said she has a boo boo.
After examining my ear, Sophie looks for the boo boo, confirms location, taps it with the thermometer. Then she asks Mary if it is better. Mary says yes, and thanks the doctor. Sophie goes back to looking at my ear, and is moving the tool around in it and making noises.
Mommy: Hey, what are you doing to my ear? It's not supposed to make noises! What kind of doctor are you anyway?
Sophie: I'm a stethoscope doctor. (pauses) OK, you're fine, you can walk now.
Mommy: What do you mean walk? You mean you want me to get out of your room?
Sophie: Yes. The doctor is over.
