Today was Seamus' first day out to meet the world. Any parent will remember those thoughts and worries of how their new child will be greeted upon beginning their journey "out there". Well? The first "being" was less than kind. Upon exiting their apartment building, we were greeted by an angry meter maid who just had not one ounce of kindness left in her angry heart and proceeded to give Jim and Greta a ticket for parking on the sidewalk, even though Greta explained that they only had to put their 5 day old baby in the car seat! After some words from a less than happy mama, we moved on to take Seamus to meet his new doctor.
Jim skillfully dropped us off in front of the doctor's building to then go park the car.
Upon entering the building the doorman there was a sign: ID REQUIRED! HAVE IT READY! Greta looked at me and said, "I have none on me". Being the dutiful "DoBee", I was prepared to offer my country bumpkin ID. The gentle giant of a man behind the desk looked at Seamus in the car carrier and said, " You want to go to the second floor". Again, I asked, "do you want to see my ID?" Again, gentle giant said he was trying to help us and for us to be on our way to the 2nd floor. For me this was a message... See? there are kind people who will greet Seamus on his journey.
We then entered the family practice that houses the folks that will care for Seamus' health as he grows over the years. We were again met with only kindness and smiles. Seamus' doctor came out and ushered us into the exam room. He got a clean bill of health...and only one "hurtish" blood test...
and has one gorgeous doc to boot!
