Those Who Love Me: My Doctors




Now you might be thinking to yourself... "What the doctors? Thats the best that kid can come up with. What about all the other people in his life?" Well I am young and free to make a few mistakes once in a while. Some of you may know that I had/have a valve that is supposed to close in babies but mine didn't close. This caused me to spend some time in the NICU. While I was there many people cared for me. Basically doctors and I have a long history.

Today I went in for my 1 month checkup with the pediatrician. He was a very nice guy, he cuddled with me and and even gave me a kiss for good luck when I left. He might not love me like my mommy and my daddy, but he cared for me and looks out for me. I think that is another kind of love, caring for someone and wanting what is best for them. So in that way he loves me well. While he was examining me he also made me think about a few things. Let me explain for all of you who weren't there (which would be everyone except my mom).

He put me on my tummy to test how strong my head was getting. I lifted up my head and he was pretty impressed, telling my mom that I had a strenth of 2 month old. Did you hear that 2 month old? That means I am twice as strong as I should be. I acheived strength of my neck twice as fast as I should have. I am progressed at twice the speed of other people. This is pretty cool, I'm pretty advanced. At this rate I could be talking in months, crawling in a few months, walking at 5 months, reading at 2 years and atending kindgerarten. I could drive a car in 8 years, graduate high school at 9, get married in my teens, have kids in my teens, and retire by 30. Wow my life is flying by......

Wait, I don't want it to fly by so fast. I want to just be 1 month old snuggled in my mommy's arms. I want to enjoy where I am now and how old I am now. Life is nice the way it is right now. I don't need it to go by any faster. All those other things will come in due time!
