Becky went on her annual weekend trip to Nantucket to visit Beth, and Ally and I had a fun weekend just the two of us. It started out (after a trip to the doctor) with dinner at the new park with friends.
It was our pre-school group, Stella, her sister Violet, Andy, his sister Charlotte, Erik, his brother Nicky, Liem, his sister Kai and Ally. This crew knows each other well and always has fun. They worked together collaboratively for a while on a complex dam building project.
Class lists for first grade came out and Ally and Erik are in the same class together again. We’re all pretty thrilled – this will make 5 years they have been classmates!
So the doctor visit. Ally experienced her first sports injury at gymnastics. She was on the bar practicing her casting (this is when you are on the bar, arms straight, belly touch the bar and your push your body off of the bar – “you cast off”) and another girl walked behind her too close and Ally’s foot sliced across the other girl’s teeth! The other girl said Ow, but Ally was bleeding and very upset. She left the gym to see Becky in the waiting area. Imagine the drama – bloody foot, tears – fear, inconsolable confused Ally. So Becky brought her home. We took a look at it – it was pretty big; about a 1 inch cut on Ally’s heel, we cleaned it up and I called the doctor in the morning.
I know from experience that any cut involving a mouth requires a doctor check. The doctor looked at it and prescribed a 5 day course of heavy duty antibiotics.
The medicine tasted awful. So after a return trip to the pharmacy for flavoring and a lot of ice cream (thanks grandma Barbie) we have been able to complete the course.
