The presents (doctors kit) from Toys R Us were a great hit, especially with Kate. I went to go pick the kids up from the park after work and managed to persuade them to say goodbye to granny and come home with me with the promise of a present.
"you got a present for ME mama?"
"yes, a present for Adam and a present for Kate"
"what is it?"
"a surprise"
"a SURPRISE present!! YAY!!"
The kids love presents (don't we all) and so I especially wrapped each doctor set up with brightly coloured paper and let them unwrap it themselves. Great excitement and for the rest of the afternoon I had to lie down and be the patient while Kate "be'ed the doctor". "You feel better mama?" She took her duty as the doctor very seriously. V sweet. Just what the doctor ordered - a little TLC from my precious darlings.

Amazing how kids have the best timing sometimes. If bad news has to come, that's got to cushion the blow a bit.

Oh we've had tons of fun with the doctor kit Alyssa got two years ago for Christmas and especially with the glasses (I play either an evil old witch or the Queen Mother with them on, much to their delight). Glad to hear the rest of the day was better than the start! *hugs*

What a wonderful set of kids you have! They knew just what their mama needed.

Maybe Kate will grow up and be a doctor. That would be great especially with her old bag of a mother to have to take care of.

Yes. I'm glad that Kate and Adam can heal some of the pain. Best wishes.
