I used to wonder…

Does he like me?

Will he call?

Is this going anywhere?

Now I spend my evenings cheering while my husband—who fixes broken bones for a living—learns to rollerblade in our living room. ❤️😂

Life has a funny way of answering your questions.

As a pediatrician and mom, I spend a lot of time teaching children that kindness matters—that even the smallest act can make a big difference in someone else’s day.

Today, I got to experience that lesson myself.

I accidentally left my wallet in the Starbucks bathroom and didn’t realize it until I was at Walgreens. My heart absolutely sank. When I rushed back, an incredibly kind person had already turned it in. Everything was there.

To the person who took the time to do the right thing: thank you. You probably have no idea how much your kindness meant to me.

The world can feel heavy sometimes, but today was a beautiful reminder that there are still really good people in it. 💗

A pediatrician’s most important medical supply?

Not really…

But it’s definitely one of my favorites. 💕

Stickers have ended tears, started conversations, rewarded bravery, and brought countless smiles to my exam room.

Some traditions are worth keeping.

Dr. Bailen says you’re lookin’ good! 🎀
