Today we asked: “If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be?” 🐯🦄🐒

Here’s what some of our awesome patients said:
🦖 “A dinosaur—so I can stomp around!”
🦄 “A unicorn, obviously. Sparkles!”
🐒 “A monkey, to swing from trees all day!”
🐠 “A fish… because swimming is life.”

Kids always remind us to dream big and laugh often 💬💕
