Is there a doctor in the house?

My kids love to play doctor. We have the Fischer-Price set of doctor's stuff at home. It has a stethoscope, otoscope, bandaid (band-and as K calls it), BP cuff, thermometer (tensermen as K calls it), and a shot. While we were at my parents house in P'cola, they played with a set that my parents had from when we were kids. It had extra stuff in it, like a knee hammer and a pill bottle. That set got used many times while we were there. The kids really liked the knee hammer. Grandma used it on the kids and "helped" their knees jerk. So when they used it on Grandma (or any other unsuspecting adult) they had to make their knees jerk.

All this to tell the following story. It started with Grandma and K playing with the Little People barn. Now these are the ancient Little People. Anyone remember these? I'm sure they are worth something now.

Anyway. As they were playing they discovered a horse (that was NOT Little People) that had a broken leg. Of course, K wanted to know who did it and how it happened. Grandma's answer was that it was sick and just needed to get better. All of a sudden, K ran to the other room and came back with the doctor set. She sat there and "doctored" that little tiny horse. She listened his broken leg. She wrapped the BP cuff around the horse. She gave it a shot. It was too cute! But really funny to watch because this horse was so small compared to the doctor set.

Along the lines of very old...... My mom had most of the old A Beka Book summer reading program. They don't even make them any more. There was like 50+ books in the series. I brought a bunch home for C to read. I think they have a "reading contest" later in the year and he can use those.
