Doctor's Office Fun

It's been awhile since my last post and even longer since I posted a picture...so here ya go!

Recently I went to see my endocrinologist for a routine thyroid level check. Thankfully, it's been in the normal range for the last 6 months!! This is great news to me since it took over a year for them to get my levels back in the normal range after Tyler's birth. Anyway, Tyler was quite the social one at our visit! It all started when we walked in and he insisted on telling everyone in the waiting room "hi" one by one. Soon after we were seated someone was called back by a nurse and of course Tyler just had to tell them " bye-bye". He did this every time someone's name was called. He would wave his hand and say "bye-bye" until they did it back. Also, he felt compelled to tell everyone that walked into the office after us "hi". Pretty soon everyone in the waiting room knew what to expect anytime someone entered or exited the room, and luckily everyone seemed to find it amusing and not annoying. To top it off.....Tyler also decided to play peek-a-boo with several people in the waiting room. When Tyler plays peek-a-boo he says "see you" instead of "peek-a-boo" so he'd crane his neck around his stroller and find someone to play with. He'd cover his eyes and then throw his hands in the air and say "see you" really loud. Luckily there was an older lady who really liked Tyler and she played along. Then Tyler chose a young man to play with and he wasn't as interested. His remark to Tyler's "see you" was "yes, I'm still here"....lol.

Finally, we get called back and Tyler greets the nurse with a warm "hi" and lots of waving. She immediately asks how old he is and proceeds to tell me she has a 15 month old so I knew she would be a fun nurse for Tyler. Tyler must have picked up on this too because he decided to show her his body parts. His favorite new body part to say is elbow. So he repeately said "elbow" and pointed it out until she reacted. Unfortunately for Tyler she was taking my pulse so he had to say it a good 5 times before he was acknowledged. Tyler talked her ears off for several minutes and then we went into a room. The nurse couldn't believe how well Tyler communicated - she thought he was advanced for his age. Surprisingly, when the dr. came in he was quiet and we were out of there in no time. So, it turned out to be a fun and entertaining trip for me (and Tyler too).
