S brought me a book Going to the Doctor and wanted me to read it for her.
When I asked what she could see on the cover, she pointed to the doctor on the
cover and said She is a doctor. As I said to S It is time to read this story book,
you need to turn on your listening years and be quite when the story is going on.
She then did the gesture as pretending to click on her ears and closing her mouth.
S said I have two doctor bag at home, one with handle, another one not with
handle. I asked her what she does with the doctor bags, she answered me I play
doctor games, and Im a doctor. During reading the story, S responded to the
books concept, she talked about her personal experiences and she was able to
recognize numbers of doctor instruments (thermometer, stethoscope).
S talked about the doctor instruments that she used when playing doctor game
and her experience when she was sick.
I have thermometer at my doctor bag, it for checking the mouth,
when I play doctor game.
When I get hurt, mummy will put her hand on head. It is so hot, then
we will see the doctor, my doctor is Doctor Amy.
She (Doctor Amy) give us prescription and medication, then Im okay.
When Im sick, mt legs will be so tired, then mummy will take me to
bed, then I will fell better when I wake up.
I asked S Who is making appointment in this picture?
S pointed to the mother and said The mummy is making
appointment.





I asked S where will the thermometer apply on you?
S pointed to her mount and arms then answered
Sometimes it is on my ears or in my mouth.



I asked S What is the stethoscope for?

It hurts a bit, but just a bit.
