Teddy Bear Doctor

This weekend we had a Bay Ridge kind of weekend which included a trip to the library for a special event, hosting a La Leche League meeting, and a venture to Owl's Head Park on the north side of neighborhood. 

The special event at the library was a visit from the teddy bear doctor. Kids were encouraged to bring their teddy bears to have them examined by real doctors. Elizabeth loves all things doctor related and is not scared of checkups at all. In fact, she gets upset any time she is excluded from anyone's doctor visit. It was a really cute event and she had a good time.

The bear she brought is named Kate Koala ("Just like mama") and is three months old. She had a fever and runny nose. We also were also told by one of the doctors that her foot was a little bit broken (she had a thread hanging off it).

Ready to go -- Kate Koala is dressed in H's clothing and sporting a diaper:

 Waiting in the "waiting room" -- the amount of waiting room time was very realistic:

 Today we ventured to Owl's Head Park where Elizabeth checked out the skate park:
