I used to work for a chiropractor. Andrew and I go regularly for adjustments. Our kids have been adjusted since they were babies. Willa was even adjusted just moments after birth, since Dr. J. was one of my Natal Nazis. Our kids have a love/hate relationship with the chiropractor. They ask to go and then when they get there, they freak out. It’s just what they do.
But I knew we’d reached a whole new level of familiarity with the chiropractic stuff when Ellen and Adam (aka Mutt and Jeff) lined up a bunch of stools and played “get bajusted.”
I’m fairly certain our chiropractor doesn’t have Crazy Eyes like that.
It was funny yesterday. But it was even funnier today when Ellen lined all the stools up herself, laid herself down, and yelled out, “Come bajust me, Ad-dum! I needa get bajusted!”
She laid there and yelled for a solid ten minutes before she yelled too hard and fell off the “table.”
Now I guess I’ll have to take her to the real chiropractor to get “bajusted.”

Dr. J approves this message!

I cannot stop laughing - they are too cute!

That’s great! My son likes to play chiropractor also, but he just wants to “adjust” our necks. We won’t let him, but that doesn’t keep him from trying!

Bwahaha! That. Is. Awesome.

LOL, your kids are adorable! No need to rush off to the chiropractor per say… for they are already very well adjusted children (no pun intended) ;).

LOL! My kids were playing chiropractor this morning, too! Which is funny, because mine NEVER ask to get adjusted. My chiropractor comes to my house, and routinely adjusts a cohort of stuffed animals, but the children? Never. ‘Til two visits ago, when she promised my son a Hot Wheels car if he’d let her adjust him. My child who has screamed bloody murder and had to be held down for every adjustment since the age of 1, hopped up on her bench with nary a second thought. I thought “Someone has been for a ride here, and it’s not the young man with the new car.”

I carried a copy of this to Dr. Herring’s office and he asked if he could keep it. I’m sure he wanted to show it around. Now when I leave for my appointment, I tell the girls at the office that I am going to get bajusted!

I need to get bajusted, too. Can I get a referral?
Seriously, though, who do you recommend here? It’s been 13 months since my last baby was born and I still have to sleep with my Snoogle pillow.
I’ve heard good and bad about chiropracters, so I want to use someone who is trustworthy and knows their stuff. And who knows what NOT to do.
Please let me know your recommendation. Thanks!
