Baby Doctors

For many weeks now, our friends have enjoyed taking care of the baby dolls that live in Green Room. They like to pat the baby dolls to sleep while gently shushing them, just like they've seen their teachers do when we are putting a kiddo down for a nap! They also like to rock their baby dolls and sing lullabies to them, again imitating what they have seen their teachers doing. It is so neat to watch them practicing these skills and developing their social empathy!






Recently, one of the baby dolls (NOT one of our actual kiddos) suffered a crack in its arm. We sent it to the "baby hospital" (i.e. the kitchen) for some TLC. However, R. was very concerned about this baby doll. She kept asking us to open the door so she could see into the kitchen and check on the baby doll. To help her process her concern, we got down our play doctor's kit. We set her up with a plush stethoscope and blood pressure cuff so that she could do a check-up on all of the other baby dolls. After she gave Teacher Katie a clean bill of health (whew!), she spent some time lining up the baby dolls and examining them.








We're so glad that we have our Green Room baby doctors around to keep our baby dolls in good shape!

Love,
Teacher Katie
