A visit to the GP


While waiting in the GP's office today (doctor's office) we met Evvie.  Evvie is 2 years old with bright red hair in curls.  While we were waiting to be called, Evvie and her mum were playing shop.  Evvie was fetching pretend items such as bread, cheese, tea and bringing them to her mum.  Evvie then got enamored with Ruby.  Evvie's mum told me that she has recently become obsessed with baby dolls.  Evvie was trying to push Ruby's pram, started playing with Ruby's rattle and started playing shop with Ruby - she brought Ruby strawberry yogurt and some bananas.
Soon, it was Evvie's turn to go to the GP, when she and her mum returned to the waiting room a few minutes later.. her mum told her to gather her things and put on her coat as it was time to go home.  Evvie looked over and then said... 'Take Ruby home?' - her mum laughed and said.. 'No Evvie, we cannot take Ruby home with us.'
:-)
ps: We were at the GP because Ruby has a bit of dry skin. The GP prescribed Aveeno lotion and bath.  In the states, the doctor would most likely tell me to pick some up at a CVS however, in Scotland, he wrote me a prescription for Aveeno and we picked up 4 massive bottles at the pharmacy - FOR FREE - we can get FREE refills and will never have to pay for the lotion and bath cream EVER.
