The "Doctor" is in...

On Tuesday, Eli got to go to work with me in Richmond due to the weather. He happily watched movies on my laptop, "did homework" in his preschool work book, and even answered the occasional phone call (fortunatly my patients had a sense of humor about that!). While I was in my triage room talking with a patient, Eli wandered in. He struck up a conversation with my patient (Eli never knows a stranger!) and told her that he was going to be a doctor when he grew up. "Really?", my patient asked. "Yeah", said Eli, "But not the kind of doctor mommy is. I'm actually gonna help people." He then turned on his heel and marched back to my office. I'm pretty sure my patient didn't stop laughing until she got home. Makes me wonder...what do my kids think I do at my clinic all day....?
