Visiting the Doctor for Yearly Flu Shots

Last week, we visited Doctor Licille Kilantang at the clinic located near the church in Opon. We were scheduled for our yearly flu shots.

We arrived quite late but Dokie was very accommodating and still was there to give the shots to Dabby. Dokie's secretary was ready to leave when we arrived at quarter to six and getting ready to close shop. 

She still dropped her things to take Dabby's weight and height. His baby book is already old and torn since he had it since he was born. Of course, that also means that he is a patient of Dokie ever since he was born too.

So when he saw that Dokie was already there, he proceeded with looking for the stethoscope which he mentioned he would like to see on the visit. He immediately saw it hanging on the wall and borrowed the thing for him to play with while he had his shot. 



At that time, he was also carrying his letter to Ate Kaye and showed it to the Doctor who was amazed with his artwork and suggest he brings some for her to hang on her clinic. I think it's an easy job for Dabby. :)

He had his flu shots after that (and both Marc and I still have to have the shots by next month). It was quick and painless. And got his candies. :) Of course, he also returned the stethoscope.

Toy Review: A Star Performance on a Saxophone

Does your kid love pretending that he's playing a real instrument? Dabby sure does love these kinds of imaginings. He already has a real harmonica and guitar. This time the Lola bought him a saxophone. This toy is specifically named the WinFun Triple Sounds Saxophone. It was fun to know that this is sold off on Amazon which makes it easy to purchase one if you love the product.

  • Give a star performance with this jammin’ saxophone that plays 18 songs while lights flash
  • Includes 4 buttons that play notes and 4 lights that play short tunes when pushed
  • Encourages music appreciation and fosters imaginative play
  • Made of quality plastic in vibrant colors
  • Manufacturer's Suggested Age: 3 Years and Up
  • Dimensions: Length: 16.0 "; Height: 2.5 "; Width: 7.0 "
  • Product Weight: 1.25 Lb.


Positives
The tunes recorded is fun for a kid. Colors are indeed vibrant as per product description. Really nice for role playing with saxophone playing. Automatically turns off when left after play. I love that it can play notes on each of the buttons and coupled with the beats on the toy, a child can create music that he likes.

Negatives
Battery operated. I say This is a con for any toy that needs battery to work. And besides that one, the mouthpiece is not something that a kid can blow into so that's a huge minus 




I recommend you check it out through the photo/link below. It is entertaining enough to deserve a three star for me. Encourage your kid to play it in another room because it gets too loud sometimes.
