Conversations with my daughter.

[rivka]

Alex: Why do you have to go to the doctor?

Me: Remember when I had to go to the hospital a while ago? After you've been in the hospital, your doctor usually needs to check to make sure everything is okay.

Alex: Does your tummy still hurt, Mama?

Me: No. I feel okay. But the doctor needs to check my insides to make sure everything is okay there.

Alex: But HOW are you going to take your OUTSIDES off?

*nod* makes sense. I haven't been around small children much if any, so I wasn't sure how one would explain in terms that wouldn't go sailing over their heads. Thank you for the additional explanation.
