Playing ‘Doctor’ With My 3 Sons

Oh! What fun!

This came up in my Facebook memories a year ago. It was so hilarious playing ‘doctor’ with my 3 young sons, who were aged 3, 6, and 8.

I was told to scream, “My knee hurts!”

All 3 sons quickly scurried over to my bedroom.

  • Joel, aged 3, asked for my help to open his little plastic doctor’s toolbox, took out a small comb, and started to comb my hair.
  • Jayden, aged 6, pretended to panic,
  • Julius, aged 8, was the primary doctor. He tried to attend to my injury, then declared, “I’m not trained for this!”

Then he left, with his two other brothers following him.

We repeated this three more times! Oh, what fun!
