Ode to Uncle Martin

After rest time yesterday, James had his little wagon all set up with various things, ready to bring downstairs.  He told me he was a nurse and he was going to help me feel better.  (I didn’t know I was sick, but oh well.)

He had me sit in the chair and then asked me what hurt.  I told him my head (playing along), and he picked up one of his little barrels, opened it up, took out some medicine, and applied it to my head with a drumstick.  “Do you feel better now?” he asked.

Then he had me lean forward to look at my back.  He said that he saw some blood on my back, so he put a bandaid on the hole so it would feel better.  Yikes!  You’d think we let him watch medical dramas on TV.

I told James that Uncle Martin was a nurse who works with all kinds of people who may not feel well.  James replied, “Maybe Uncle Martin could get a wagon full of things to help people too!” 🙂

We love you, Uncle Martin, and can’t wait to meet you in person!  “Cheers” to helping people feel better!
