Always a bridesmaid

Santa brought my daughter a doctors' kit for Christmas, and she saw quite a few patients this afternoon- most of them needing medicine and Band-Aids. In addition to my blood pressure reading, I was granted a glimpse of my son's future. While he was NEVER the doctor today, he was a nurse for a little while, until he put the otoscope in his mouth (and cut him a little slack- he is only 5 months old), and then he was relegated to "sick person" for the rest of office hours. I can see it now- sister is the teacher, he is the student- Mommy and baby- store owner and customer...he gazes at her with a look that quite plainly she might never see again from another person. He utterly and completely adores her, enough to always be the nurse, just to be in the same room, granted an audience with this amazing, amazing girl.
