No.3 Oldest sisterfs play at doctor(June 1999)

We visited many variety hospital to check the baby in my wifefs belly.

We often take our oldest daughter to hospital together. She is bored in the dark room for ultrasound check. Sometime, the doctor kindly shows video for children in this room for her.

I also spend very long time in that dark room and I have seen the image of ultrasound machine long time. Thanks to that, I became to understand which portion I am seeing, I did not understand anything before though.

One day, at homecMy oldest daughter start to say gLetfs play at doctor!h. She took me to bed room. She ordered me to lay on the back. She turned off the room light. She come to me and she pulled my shirts off from my belly. And she pretended to pick up something and she moved it round above my belly, so she said gChuuuh. I did not understand what she is doing at first, but I got the meaning soon. She did gPlay at ultrasound checkh. The meaning she said gChuuuh is the sound of jelly coming out from tube. I see. She observed it well.

After that, she moved round the another hand above my belly. She thought she moves sensor on my belly. She also stared the virtual CRT image in the air and operated many switched the virtual machine box.

For my oldest daughter, gPlay at doctorh equals gPlay at ultrasound checkh.

On the other day, I watched she played with her friend. They agreed at play at doctor. Her friend started to pretend to do shot, but my oldest daughter started to pretend ultrasound check. They did not quite bite evenlyc.Hmm.
