The Doctor

Mason had an appointment yesterday for a checkup. He's been coughing up a storm and snotting all over the place, so I took him in to the pediatrician to make sure it was nothing major.

After the weigh-in (33 pounds and 35 3/4 inches!), we waited for the doctor to show up. He walked in and Mase greeted him enthusiastically:

Mase: "Hiiiiiiiiii, Doctor!"
Dr: "Hello there, Mason."
Mase: [running over to stand by me] "Mommy, his name's Doctor!"
Dr: "Jeeze, if everyone was as happy as you I'd be having a much better day right now!"

And so the appointment continued.


As it turns out, he's in the very first stages of an ear infection. I was a little worried, but Mason didn't care... he was thrilled - this morning he actually asked if we could go back to the doctor's. What a kid.
