1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: Hello, friends, and welcome to sleep Tight Stories. Bernice has 2 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: a doctor's appointment today and she is feeling a bit 3 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: nervous about it. Bobby has told her some things that 4 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: the doctor is going to do, and so she is 5 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: hiding under her blankets, hoping Papa Bear won't be able 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: to find her. Papa Bear tells her that Bobby sometimes 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: likes to exaggerate and that everything will be fine at 8 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: her appointment. Let's see how Bernice does at her doctor's appointment. 9 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: Bernice visits the doctor. Good morning, little bear, Are you 10 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: awake yet, Papa Bear said, as he gently pushed Bernice's shoulder. No, Papa, 11 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: I'm sleeping in today until noon, Bernice said, from under 12 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the blankets. Sleeping until noon. That's not like you, little bear. 13 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: You are usually up early, but on those days I 14 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: have school or it's a day when we have other 15 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: fun things to do. Today is not fun at all. 16 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: It's a scary day, a scary day. Why is today 17 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: a scary day, little bear? It's sunny outside and it's warm, 18 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: and I have something special made for breakfast. I think 19 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: it just might be a perfect day, Papa Bear said. 20 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: It's not a perfect day at all. When you have 21 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: to go to the doctor, Papa. It's super scary, Bobby said. 22 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: The last time he went to a doctor, the doctor 23 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: hit his knee with a great big hammer, stuck a 24 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: great big needle in his arm, and didn't even give 25 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: him a lollipop when he laughed. I like my knees, Papa, 26 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't want a doctor to hurt them. Bernie said, 27 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: as she kept cuddling with Twigga under the blanket, that 28 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Bobby always likes to tell silly stories. I think Bobby 29 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: has an overactive imagination and a tendency to exaggerate. You 30 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 1: know that he likes to scare you a little bit. 31 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: I promise that going to see the doctor this morning 32 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: will not be like that at all. It might even 33 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: be fun. He was laughing, Papa, and he does like 34 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: to tease me. But I still feel nervous. Bernie said, 35 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Why don't you get ready and come downstairs to have breakfast. 36 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: I will tell you what we will do today and 37 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: what the visit to the doctor might be like. Is 38 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: that honeycakes I smell, Papa, Bernice asked, as she started 39 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: to get out of bed. It sure is, but you 40 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: better hurry. They are so tasty. I might eat them 41 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: all up, Papa Bear said, with a laugh. Don't do that, Papa. 42 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: I'll be ready super fast, Bernice said, as she rushed 43 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: to get dressed. Bernice put on all her lucky clothes 44 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: and raced downstairs for breakfast. I'm wearing my giraffe shirt, 45 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: giraffe socks, and my pants with giraffes on them this morning, Papa, 46 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: she said, you look just like Twigger, Papa Bear replied. 47 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: After taking three great, big bites of her breakfast, Bernice said, 48 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: these honeycakes are super yummy, Papa, and my hot milk 49 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: is super great too. I made this special for you, 50 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: little bear. Even Mama Bear didn't have honeycakes this morning. 51 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, Papa. So what time are we going to 52 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: the doctor today. Your appointment is at ten am, so 53 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: you won't be going to school this morning, but if 54 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: we finish quickly, you can go after lunch. Bernice frowned. 55 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: I hope my teachers don't miss me too much, Papa. 56 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want them to be sad. You can bring 57 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: them some cookies tomorrow to cheer them up, Papa Bear said. 58 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: After finishing a huge drink of milk, Bernice wiped the 59 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: milk's dash off her lip and asked, are you sure 60 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: the doctor won't stick big needles in my arms? Papa, 61 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: I am sure. It's like the last time you went 62 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: to see the doctor. But that was like a hundred 63 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: year years ago, Papa, I can't remember what happened. I 64 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: do remember getting candy and a sticker, though, I think 65 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: I saved the candy in my bedroom drawer. After setting 66 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: a reminder on his phone to check for moldy candy 67 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: in Bernice's room, Papa Bear said, today is a checkup, 68 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: just like the last time, and much of your time 69 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: will be spent with the friendly nurses at the office. First, 70 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: they will take some measurements like your height, weight, blood pressure, 71 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: and temperature. I've gotten super tall this year, Papa. Soon 72 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: I will be taller than you, Bernice said, excitedly. You have. 73 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: After we visit with the nurse, the doctor will look 74 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: at your ears, eyes, nose, throat, heart, lungs, belly and 75 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: skin and test your reflexes. Testing your reflexes is one 76 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: of the funny parts because the doctor will use a 77 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: tiny rubber hammer to tap your knee. Every time the 78 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: doctor does it to me, it makes me laugh. Papa 79 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: Bear said, no needles. Papa, you have had all your vaccinations, 80 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: little Bear, and I don't think you even noticed the 81 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: last time the nurse gave you one. I remember, Bernie said, 82 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: I was looking at all the different colored lollipops and 83 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: then the nurse said it was all over. So this 84 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: visit won't be so bad, right, Papa. It will be fun, 85 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: little Bear, And afterwards we can have a special lunch 86 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: together before you return to school. Can we have ice 87 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: cream like we did after going to the dentist? Sure thing, 88 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: little Bear. We haven't had an ice cream treat in 89 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: a long time. Papa, Yes, little Bear. Can Twigga come too? 90 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I think he might want to see the doctor. Twigger 91 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: can come too, Maybe the doctor will check him first. 92 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: After eating her delicious breakfast of honeycakes and hot milk, 93 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: Bernice went to her bathroom to brush her teeth and 94 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: wash her hands, making sure she did the best job ever. 95 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: After she finished washing up, Bernice got her favorite lucky boots, 96 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: on which she wore not only when it was raining, 97 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: but when she needed a little extra courage, put on 98 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: her jacket and got in the backseat of Papa Bear's 99 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: car for the drive to the doctor's office. When they 100 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: arrived at the doctor's office, Bernice said to Papa, I'm 101 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: still a little nervous. Remember when we went to the 102 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: dentist and you were nervous. Then, yes, Papa, it was 103 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: kind of fun, wasn't it. Bernice nodded her head. Don't worry, 104 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: little bear. I would never take you somewhere that would 105 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: scare you or hurt you. The doctor is our friend 106 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: and it's her job to make sure we are healthy. 107 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: So let's be brave. Take a great, big breath and 108 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: go inside to visit the doctor. Bernice sent her papa 109 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: walked into the large building where the doctor's office was. 110 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: Bernice felt kind of nervous, but she took a big breath, 111 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: held Papa Bear's hand, and walked with him through the 112 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: front door of the doctor's office that was at the 113 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: back of the first floor of the building. Bernice and 114 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: her papa walked through the reception area towards the desk, 115 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: where a lady dressed in a bright striped jacket greeted 116 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: them with a smile. Hi there, little bear. You must 117 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: be Bernice. Yes, I am. I like your jacket. Bernice said, well, 118 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you like it. I think it matches well 119 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: with my mask, the receptionist said. My friend Twigger likes 120 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: your jacket and mask too. Bernice said, as she held 121 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: up her stuffed giraffe to show the receptionist. Wow, I 122 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: love your giraffe. My giraffe has a name too. His 123 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: name is Twigga. That's a wonderful name. And guess what. 124 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: The receptionist asked what? Bernice whispered, I love your clothes too. 125 00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: I think I would like to dress like you. Thank you. 126 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: Can Twigger get a check up today too? Bernice asked 127 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: that will be up to doctor McGinn. But I don't 128 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: see why not. Why don't you go right in and 129 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: the nurse will start your visit with us today. Okay, 130 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: thank you, Bernice said. Bernice and Papa Bear walked in 131 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: through the door to the back where Bernice would first 132 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: talk to a nurse. Good morning, Bernice. My name is Tracy, 133 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: and I am going to take some measurements. How are 134 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: you feeling today, Hi, Tracy, I am feeling fine, I guess, 135 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: Bernice said, still a little bit nervous. Why don't you 136 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: have a seat in this chair while I ask you 137 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: a few questions. Then we are going to take those measurements. Okay, 138 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: miss Tracy, Bernice said, taking a seat. Are you ticklish today, 139 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: because I think some tests might make if you giggle? 140 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: If you are, I am sometimes ticklish, Bernice said, with 141 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: a smile. The nurse put a check mark on the 142 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: list she was carrying. Okay, good. Do you think your 143 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: giraffe needs a check up too? Yes, his name is 144 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Twigga and he has had a checkup in a super 145 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: long time, Bernice said, excitedly. Have you ever seen a 146 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: giraffe with a sore throat? The nurse asked, I don't 147 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: think twigger has ever had a sore throat, Bernie said, giggling. Now, 148 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: I want you to stand on this scale and I 149 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: am going to check your height and wait. Then before 150 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: you go in to see doctor McGinn, I'll check your 151 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: blood pressure and temperature. The nurse took all the measurements 152 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: that she needed before taking Bernice and her papa into 153 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: the doctor's office to wait for her to come in 154 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: after she finished with another patient. Before I leave you 155 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: to talk to the doctor, Bernice, can you show me 156 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: your best silly face, the nurse said, as she made 157 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: her own silly face. I can try Bernice said, as 158 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: she opened her mouth and eyes as wide as she could. 159 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: That's pretty silly, the nurse said with a laugh. Doctor 160 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: McGinn will be with you in a few minutes. The 161 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: nurse is kind of silly, Papa, she certainly is, Papa 162 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Bear said, and you are doing very well this morning. 163 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: Have you thought of what kind of ice cream we 164 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: can have after lunch? I think we should have honey flavored, Papa. Then, 165 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: with a gentle knock on the door, doctor McGinn entered 166 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: the examination room. Good morning, Bernice and Twigger. It's not 167 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: often I get to talk to a little bear and 168 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: a giraffe at the same time. Doctor McGinn said, with 169 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: a smile. Are those suckers sticking out of your pocket? 170 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: Bernice asked, they certainly are. There is one in there 171 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: for you and Twigger, but you have to promise me 172 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: not to open them until the end of our talk. Today. Bernice, 173 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: Papa Bear, and doctor McGinn had a short talk about 174 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: how Bernice was growing, about taking care of her body, 175 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: what foods to eat, and the importance of exercise. Then 176 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: the doctor took out a strange looking tool to look 177 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: inside Bernice's eyes, ears, nose, and throat. The doctor then 178 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: took out a small rubber hammer and tapped Bernice's knee 179 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: with it, which caused her foot to automatically move outward. 180 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: This made Bernice laugh, so the doctor did it again. 181 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: It didn't work on twig that well though. Next Bernice 182 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: lay down on the comfy table and the doctor pushed 183 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: on her belly, which made Bernice laugh again. Is this 184 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: the tickle test? Bernice asked, Oh, the nurse told you 185 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: all about my tickle test, did she? I was hoping 186 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: it would be a surprise. Doctor McGinn said, with a laugh. 187 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: You certainly passed this test with flying colors. Well that's 188 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: all I have to check today. You are a healthy 189 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: and ticklish little bear, the doctor said. And I am 190 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: growing super fast right. I think I will be bigger 191 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: than Papa soon. You have grown a lot, Bernice, You 192 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: will be bigger than your papa in no time at all. 193 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: Papa Bear sighed. Do you have any questions for me? 194 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: The doctor asked? Can I change this green lollipop for 195 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: a red one? Twiggerlikes red mo and I like to 196 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: make sure he is happy. We can do that. Twigga 197 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: is looking very healthy too. After the doctor and Papa 198 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: Bear had a short conversation. Bernice and Papa Bear left 199 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: the doctor's office to go for lunch and ice cream. 200 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: After they sat at their table at the small restaurant 201 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: where they were having lunch, Papa Bear said, now, that 202 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: was kind of a fun morning, don't you think, little Bear? 203 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: It was okay. The doctor and nurse were very nice 204 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: and it wasn't scary. But you know what the best 205 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: part is, Papa. What's the best part. I get to 206 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: spend time with you. I love you, little Bear. I 207 00:15:50,840 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: love you too, Papa. And that's the end of our store. Worry, 208 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: good night, Sleep tight.
