How do you like my dirt goatee? I'm trying out something new....
Today's title is a tad misleading. It was actually Saturday, Bloody Saturday. We had a little accident on Saturday--there was a car-window mishap (despite the auto-reverse feature the windows are supposed to have) and it was gruesome. I can laugh about it now but I was kind of traumatized (Alex was hella-traumatized) and she made me promise not to let her die. Breaks your heart, it truly does. But she is fine--she emerged (relatively) unscathed (emotionally at least) and lived to tell the tale.
So her finger is bandaged for camp and they (apparently) will not allow bandaids in the pool. Even the fancy silicone one i put on her precisely so that it would not fall off in the pool. D'oh! Curses, foiled again.
And even if she had not climbed the Tower last week, she would not have been able to do it this week so it is good that she tackled it already. The other kids had to have a turn regardless so she would not have had a turn yesterday anyway. They did take off her fancy band-aid for pool (she said that hurt) and they put on a fresh (standard) one afterward.
She came home as dirty as ever so the injury does not seem to be slowing her down terribly--she can't do everything but she is making the best of it. Fingers crossed (no pun intended) that we can continue to keep it clean, it heals nicely and stops hurting. She is a warrior though--playing through the pain!
