A trip to the Hospital

Thursday was a pretty busy day for our family, Amelia had to go to hospital for a small operation and Will had a trip to the hospital as part of his kinder group. Amelia had to be in by 7pm so Ryan took the day off work to help out one because I could not be everywhere with three kids and two we were not sure how Amelia would manage with the thought of being somewhere strange. Overall she did a great job and we were shocked at how brave she was. They did give her some medication which made her drowsy and she was not so keen for the pictures, sorry about the quality but taken using the ipod!

In  the afternoon Williams kinder class took a bus trip to the hospital where they were met by a lady called Tash who told them all about why they might come to hospital and told them who they might see when they come and signs they may see around the place to help them know where things are. Each of the children got weighed just like what would happen if they were to go to hospital and then she showed them how they take the children's temperature and then got two children up to be a sick person and one to be the Dr. Noah was the sick child and he got to choose a Dr. so he chose Will! William got dressed up like a Dr that would be fixing Noah's broken arm, Dr William did a great job bandaging the break.

The children got to see where the Mum and Dad's come to when they stay with the children and then they got to have a play on the groovy playground. William has been to the hospital before with Charlotte so he was not worried in the slightest and had a great time playing with all the toys in the playground! I always wonder how he will cope if he ever actually has to go to hospital for anything as he is really bad when it comes to hurting himself, he screams and refuses to let anyone even touch or look at what is hurt, really hoping he never has a broken bone or a cut that needs stitches as they would need to knock him out to even look at it! The children were really lucky as on the way out they were entertained by some clown doctors, who were very funny with all the bits they had on them!
