tiny

I took Brennen and Peter to the doctor for their check ups.  Brennen was having his kindergarten check up, I can't believe he is that old already.  They were very nervous about going until their wise sister Ellie reminded them of Doc Mcstuffins. Doc Mcstuffins is a Disney cartoon about a girl who is a toy doctor. Once they heard that, they were excited to go.
At the Dr.'s we needed them to get on the scale to see how big they were.  Brennen hopped right on to show Peter there was nothing to be afraid of.  Peter refused to get on the scale.  We kept saying, "Peter it doesn't hurt we just want to see how big you are." He wouldn't do it, we tried to talk to him rationally he wouldn't do it, we tried to bribe him with a sticker, he wouldn't do it.  Finally Peter speaks up, "I don't want to be big I want to be tiny!"   Oh!. .. "Well get on and lets see how tiny you are."  He hopped right on and held perfectly still.
Once in the exam room the Dr comes in with Peters chart and says "your in luck Peter, your tiny."  He is now in the 10th % for height and the 6% for weight.
At the end of the appointment they asked where Doc Mcstuffins was.  A small part of me wanted to revert to a lie and say it was her day off, then I thought better of it and explained that she doesn't work at that office. They were disappointed  but had their stickers and suckers so they shrugged it off.
