Teddy Bear Doctor

Oh. My. Goodness. What a fun morning we have had. Max & I saw flyers for the Teddy Bear Hospital and then learned about it at our story time at the library. Med students run a Hospital for teddy bears to lower kids anxiety about doctors & hospitals and also to give the students children interaction.

It was VERY cool! Max was so brave & loved getting to check his teddy near with Dr. Claire. She was wonderful with Max. Max showed her the sign for hurt and pointed to teddy's tummy, so together they checked teddy out. She let Max play with do much of her equipment and gave Max so much encouragement & confidence.

Later he was able to do activities like play dough & face painting and playing with bone models with doctors. Mac had such a great time interacting and even let one young doctor paint a ball on his face.

It was a spectacular day!

Off to the Teddy Bear Hospital we go!!
