Doctor Kenzie

Kenzie has always shown an interest in all things related to medical treatment and, fortunately, that interest has not yet waned.  Now that they have a kitten at home, she is also showing an interest in veterinary medicine.  While we were out shopping with Kenzie a couple of months ago, she asked for a veterinary medicine play set this Christmas.  Fortunately for her, she found this big box of veterinary play things under the Christmas tree this Christmas.

The lab coat and safety glasses are from last Christmas when she was just starting to use my microscope and learn about the laboratory side of things.  These items work well with her veterinary play set as well.  Plus, Gee dug out her old stethoscope this Christmas so Kenzie could borrow it and learn how to use it.  Kenzie was pretty excited!

Each of the adults in the room took turns showing Lukey and Kenzie where to place the stethoscope and what to listen for in each place as they listened carefully.  Then Kenzie turned her attention to the veterinary play set.

I think Kenzie had an idea of what she was unwrapping in this photo, below...  this was the veterinary play set...

Kenzie also received a cookbook geared toward young kids (Lukey received one as well).  Each step of every recipe in the book has a photo showing the step being accomplished.  It is also written at a level that Kenzie can easily understand.  So, on her first night at home after receiving her new cookbook, she made some stuffed Italian meatballs for everyone!

In this photo, below, Kenzie is skimming through her new cookbook looking at recipes...

However, we didn't hear how Lucy the kitten fared once Kenzie arrived home with her new veterinary play set...  I suspect she was accosted by Kenzie until she realized she could scratch back.
