While at our most recent doctor visit I was asked a number of questions while the doctor was typing my answers in the computer. The conversation went something like this:
Dr: "Does the baby read?"
Me: "Um.....no, she can't read. "
** This is when the Dr. started typing in her computer "Baby doesn't read"
Me cont': "I read books to her, but she can't read yet."
Dr: Stops typing, looks up and says "You do?....every day?"
Me: "Yes, I try to read to her everyday"
** Dr. erases what she previously typed in the computer and types "mom reads to baby daily."
Devin: VERY CONFUSED asks, "do most babies her age read?"
Dr: "I guess I didn't phrase my question very well....I meant to ask if you were reading to her."
Devin: "Good, I thought our baby was missing something!"
Have you ever known a 3 month old to read?....

I thought that this was going to be a joke or something. How funny is that?! Maybe given your profession the doctor thought Kaylie SHOULD be reading. Either way I am glad it was clarified.
;)
your baby may not read English, but it seems like your doctor can't speak English.....that makes Kaylie and him about even!....Dad
What? I didn't tell you that she read an entire Clifford book to me when you left the room the other night. Duh.
As long as she is reading by junior high, I think your okay.
