After Abe and I worked out, Clarissa woke up and Abe, instead of hurrying to work, got to play with her instead.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I scheduled a pediatrician well-check for Clarissa while Abe was home. I sent him to the doctor with both Clarissa and Ammon, who has cheeks that flare up bright red alarmingly often.<\/p>\n

Abe reported that the doctor’s visit was a smashing success. Clarissa is right on track, Ammon’s red cheeks are nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

Ammon is very friendly and makes the most of his limited vocabulary. He enthusiastically greets and bids goodbye to all of his “friends,” and when he cried “GOODBYE, DR. SIMMONS!!” with a giant grin on his face and an enthusiastic wave of his hand, the nurses went crazy. Abe said they all wanted to take him home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While he took the kids to the doctor, I visited a neighbor’s house and collected a lot of beautiful, free books. She’s giving away her amazing collection. I tried not to be too greedy because there are lots of people who wanted books, but I did fill two bags.<\/p>\n

After school Lydia did Mary’s hair. Mary LOVED it.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

I made her take the bow off before her piano recital in the evening, and that made Mary sob. In retrospect, I wish I had just let her keep it. After all, who cares, right? I will try to learn from this incident so I can make more compassionate decisions in the future.<\/p>\n

Also, she got her scores from the competition back! She got 97\/100 pts! Abe and I were so proud. I have a picture of her score paper and judge comments on my phone. When I find my phone, I’ll post it here.<\/p>\n

Clarissa has been constipated, so we have been feeding her prunes.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

Abe and I were so, so sad to have this day end. I actually felt a sense of loss knowing he would have to go back to work after this incredible stay-cation. We have enjoyed each other’s company and the company of our children so much. It’s been heaven.<\/p>\n
