12 of 12 July: Miserable Day

1. For those not familiar with Lafayette, Chris's phone would be at the ER.
2. Truman woke up in the middle of the night screaming with rapid and short breathing. Nothing calmed him down, so we finally decided that the ER was the best choice. We've never had a middle of the night ER visit before. (I found it interesting that one of our high councilors was the doctor on call. I didn't know he was a doctor.)
3. Breaks your heart.
4. Who is excited to go do chores with Mom?
5. A dragonfly as big as her hand.
6. We didn't mind the Hendersons being gone while their raspberries went crazy. Or gathering eggs, either.
7. Chris had planned to be up early like usual (4:55 am) and spend a couple hours at school before we picked him up to go to Riverfest. Instead he went in mid-morning and I got to deal with Millie throwing up. I was so glad it rained like crazy so I didn't feel like I was missing anything as I tended to sick kids.
8. She seemed much better after her bubble bath.
9. "Scrambled feet!" (She was "scrambled" all over after the luxurious soak she had!)
10. I was reading in bed when Millie woke up from her nap. She crawled up in bed with me and promptly fell back to sleep.
11. We had a picnic in the living room, watching Daniel Tiger and eating left-over pizza for dinner. Because we just didn't care.
12. She wrote this all by herself for Aunt Amy's birthday card and I about couldn't believe it, despite watching her do it. (I would tell her which letter was next.) The blob/stick thing is an exclamation point, obviously.
