The Pediatrician's Office is Packed! (Photostory)

 It's flu season in Morristown, and that means lots of shots, especially for the kids. This explains the overcrowded waiting room at the pediatrician's office.

The receptionist is busy sorting patient files.  Let's take a look to see who's here.

There's Mia (from Chang Realty) and her daughter, Isobel.

Sylvia is there with both her daughters.

Sophia and...

Jessica, who is playing a game on her laptop.

There's Kate and her son, William (named after our fellow blogger, William of 1/6th Point of view).  Seemed only fitting that mom be named Kate.  She has stopped working on her Ipad to answer a question from William.  The prop used as an Ipad is from the Bieber Backstage Playset.

Jaya is trying to keep her daughter, Kimie (both newly named), occupied.

Her older daughter, Hannah is content listening to her ipod.  I can't remember which accessory pack this ipod is from, but there is one in the LIV slumber party accessory pack.  I cut the cord to make it shorter.

Kendra has just finished with her weekly doctor's visit.  Everything seems to be progressing fine with the baby.

"So I guess we need to schedule your next appointment."  (receptionist)

"Yes.  I wish I didn't have to come every week."  (Kendra)

"You know they just want to make sure everything is okay with the baby."  (receptionist)

"Mom, I got the high score!  I beat Dad's score.  I've been trying forever!"  (Jessica)

"I'm sure he is going to be excited to hear that."  (Sylvia)

As Kendra is leaving the office, Michelle, one of the nurse's in the office, is entering with her two kids.

"Hello Kendra.  Nice to see you."  (Michelle)

"Hi.  I was wondering where you were, today."  (Kendra)

"I took the day off, so I could get some things done with the kids, including their doctor's appointment."  (Michelle)

"Awww, I didn't know you had a little one, too.  I remember you talking about your two year old."  (Kendra)

"Well Mikayla is at that age where she is into everything.  So I guess I do mention her more.  I always thought they were exaggerating about the terrible two's, but I was so wrong."  (Michelle)

"Great.  Something else for me to look forward to."  (Kendra, sarcastically)

"And she looks so innocent.  Hello sweetie."  (Kendra)

"She is sweet, most of the time.  But when she's not, watch out."  (Michelle)

Remember Sasha?  Well she's the other nurse in the office.

"Don't you just love flu season?"  (receptionist)

"Keeps us busy.  That's for sure."  (Sasha)

"You made it." (receptionist)

"Yes, finally.  I wanted to get here a little earlier, but you see that didn't happen."  (Michelle)

"Hello, Mikayla.  Look at the pretty doll.  Can I see your dolly?"

"Mrs. Redmond, we are ready for you." 

"Great. I'm be right there."  (Sylvia)

"Jessica, let's go.  Turn off the computer." (Sylvia)

"But mom, I can't stop now.  I'm close to beating my score." (Jessica)

"You will have to play later.  Let's go."  (Sylvia)

Mikayla has made her way over to show off her dolly.

"What's up with this waiting room?  Is it my imagination, or are we overbooked?"  (Michelle)

"Well Dr. Ken had an emergency this morning, and I had to push his patients back an hour.  So we have a little bit of an overlap."  (receptionist)

"I'm glad it wasn't Dr. Pai that had the delay.  I don't want to be here all day."  (Michelle)

As you can see, it's a tad bit busy in the doctor's office.  Stay tuned for the next episode, where we will venture into the exam room.  Did I tell you my primary doctor's name is Dr. Ken.  Quite appropriate, I must say.

Even Darius Was Relaxing at the Pool

Prelude:  After all the Danielle and Melanie drama, I needed a relaxing story.  So I went back to the pool.  This dio was still up because I knew I wanted to do one more story before dismantling it.  At the time I shot the pictures, the sun was perfect.  I had a good ol' time.  After finishing the pictures, I went ahead and dismantled the dio.  Then I went to the computer to edit and post.  DRAMA ensued when I realized all that time I didn't have the camera card in the camera, so I had NOTHING!  So much for a relaxing story.  My old camera would never let me shoot without a camera card.  This new camera just lets you go on your merry way, just shooting up a storm.  My first, second and third thoughts were, "I'm not doing it over".  But Darius was in swim trunks.  They really should see that.  So I redid the dio and shot pictures, again.   The sun was no longer perfect.

 My son, Tyler and his friend Dillon, are playing ball in the pool.  

China and her daughter, Taylor are there just enjoying the water.

Of course my daughter, Alicia, is harassing her brother every chance she gets.

Darius has a couple of days off, so he and Nikki came with Kendra to the pool.  She really wanted to get out of the house.

China's sister, Sylvia and her baby, Sophie are hanging out, too.

 

Jason and Lynn have just arrived with baby Layla.

"So how's the water?"  (Sylvia)

"Cold, but it feels good."  (China)

"Mommy, I'm thirsty."  (Taylor)

"Hand me the water, and I will give you some."  (China)

"Did you forget the juice?" (Taylor)

There is whining in the background.  Baby Sophie is looking for some attention.

"Honey, her swim lessons start in two months.  I was thinking we should bring her to the pool at least once a week to get her used to the water."  (Lynn) 

"What's wrong little mama?  You should be sleep by now.  Is it too hot?  Come on."  (Sylvia)

"MOM WATCH THIS."  (Tyler)

"Stop yelling.  I'm watching."  (me - Vanessa)

Alicia is quickly making her way to the ladder.  I jump into action to catch up with her.

"And where are you going, missy?"  (me-Vanessa)

"Are you sure you are ready for all that baby and toddler action, sis?"  (Darius)

"I am more than ready."  (Kendra)

 

"And when are you going to be ready?"  (Darius)

"Ready for what?!" Nikki

"Babies and toddlers."  (Darius)

"We already agreed that kids would not fit into our lifestyle." (Nikki)

"Well a guy can change his mind, can't he?"  (Darius)

"No.  A woman can change her mind, but a man does not have that right."  (Nikki)

The boys are taking a break from the pool.

"Mom, can Dillon and I play Xbox when we get home."  (Tyler)

"Dillon's mom made it perfectly clear that he is to come straight home after swimming."  (me-Vanessa)

"Can't you call her?"  (Tyler)

"DARIUS!"  (Nikki)

"Well, I'm waiting for an answer."  (Darius)

"These shoes cost $300 and they are not waterproof."  (Nikki)

"Wrong answer."  (Darius)

"Okay, okay.  I will reconsider our agreement.  Now put me down."  (Nikki)

"Do you really want me to put you down?"  (Darius)

"Yes, because I don't trust you around that water."  (Nikki)

"You can be so silly sometimes."  (Nikki)

"I just know how to negotiate and get what I want."  (Darius)

"Darling, that was not negotiating, that was blackmail."  (Nikki)

"It's the same difference.  We are just using different terms."  (Darius)

Jason and Layla are getting acclimated to the water.

"Honey, is it cold?"  (Lynn)

"Come in with us, and see."  (Jason)

"No, I can't get my hair wet.  I won't have time to do it before work tomorrow."  (Lynn)

"Your hair keeps you from doing so many fun things."  (Jason)

"I don't expect you to understand."  (Lynn)
