Happiest place to be

If you asked your kids where they believe the happiest place on earth is they'd probably say Disney, or six flags. If you ask my kids they'd probably tell you Children's Hospital. Seems weird, doesn't it? I had to swing into Children's today to pick up a couple prescriptions for Skyler and oh boy, was she ever excited to go. She quickly tossed on her best Doctor apparel (Her white Dr. jacket with her name scribbled in black in the upper left corner) and off we went.

First stop, the glass elevator. It only goes up one floor but Sky thinks it's the most amazing ride ever. The view of the lobby is "awesome". From there we passed the stage. Today there was a magician making peanut putter and jelly disappear... this was serious business so we had to watch! After that we made our way to the clinic. Each passing doctor stopped to greet Skyler with a, "Hello Doctor, how are you today?" and Sky would politely greet them, but then mumble, "I'm really a nurse." After we picked up our scripts we decided it was food time, so off to Au Bon Pain for some of Sky's favorite breadsticks. I spent $15 on bread, basically. Money well spent if you ask me!

During our visit Sky saw some kids hooked up to IV's. They were sitting in wheelchairs and watching the fish swim around in the huge fish tank. Sky looked at me and said, "See those kids over there? They look happy don't they? It's because this is the happiest place to be."

And it is a very happy place to be, for a child.
