Today Allison had her first kindergarten field trip. The local hospital near us offers a Teddy Bear Clinic to area kindergarten classes. Jacob went when he was in kindergarten and now it was Allison's turn. The purpose of the clinic is to expose children to the Emergency Room if they should ever have to have their own visit and to teach them it's not so scary! The kids brought their own stuffed animals with various sicknesses and ailments.
We left the school on the school bus and went into the hospital in the back of the ER. First into a room for "admissions" and registered the "patients". Allison took her bear, Maddy, who fell off her skateboard and hurt her arm. Maddy received her ID bracelet and directions as to where to go next.
We then went to the discharge desk to get "signed out". It was really cute! :o)
Allison had a blast showing off her bear and having me meet all her new friends at school!

Next we had Maddy's x-ray taken to see if there were any broken bones.
Then to triage where her arm was put in a splint and bandaged. Allison received instructions on how to care for Maddy - lots of rest, hugs and kisses and to leave the splint on for 3 days - it was only a sprain and not a break.

Looks like a cute field trip, but I still can't believe she's in Kindergarten.
