Martin & Sylvia

A Trip to the Doctor

Sylvia falls from the rope swing and lands funny. And Momma notices that, though Sylvia isn’t complaining about her arm, she isn’t using it. Momma decides to take Sylvia to the doctor to take xray “pictures” of her arm. This is the first time Sylvia has ever had xray pictures and is feeling nervous. Both she and Momma use a special imagination game to help them feel brave and relaxed, and, in the process, even delight the hospital doctor.
