Speaking of the Doctor…
Ella had her 3-year-old pediatrician visit this summer (previous year’s readers will be relieved that there was now power outage on this visit). Part of the 3-year-old visit is an assessment of cognitive development using a few very simple questions. The first question was a softball: “Ella, how old are you?” Ella lowered her chin, looked right into the doctor’s eye and answered with a resolute, “Five!” The doctor smiled and glanced at Kristin as if to say I know she’s toying with me but I’ve seen this before and know exactly what to do. The next question was even simpler: “Well, what’s your name?” At this, Ella glanced at Kristin as if to say Aha! I have him exactly where I want him. Ella then broke into a devilish little smile, lowered her chin, looked directly into his eye and said “Kaitlyn!” The pediatrician knew he was outmatched and simply said, “her cognitive development is fine… let’s move on to the hearing test.” (Hey doc, I think she heard you just fine!)
