Milestones


You know how you have certain things that you will probably always remember? You know..your first kiss, what movie you saw without an adult or that time when you realized that your parents were people?

I had one of those moments today. We met with our pediatrician. Wonderful man. He was actually my OB's pediatrician and has been practicing medicine for incredible 45 years at UCLA. Dr Marshall Sachs. Voted best doctor in 2007 and 2008.

All that is fine and dandy - but the entire meeting, I could not get it out of my head that we were meeting with a doctor that was not for us. It wasn't about us at all. He had no interest in us. We only had one common interest, my daughter. It is now our responsibility as parents to take our daughter to see Doctor Sachs for check-ups and vaccinations.

Parents. Now that's a freaking milestone if I ever saw one.
