update to my last post. April 20, 2008

So in my last post I wrote how my oldest daughter was turning 5 on Friday.  And the many ways that her life has impacted mine. 

Well she turned 5 on friday.  And on Saturday We took her to the Boston Children’s museum.  We took the T into Boston and had a great day… That is until we got to the last room before we left.  We played for a bit then we are greeted with Crying and tears…  Apparently Emilie went down a slide and her shoe stuck on the rubber mat at the bottom and she broke her foot.

We didn’t know that yet so from there I had to carry a 55 pound lump 3 blocks back to the red line 2 stops to the green line and then a 50 min train ride back to our car that was another 45 minutes home.  Now it should be noted that I was not superman in this situation as I did make her walk a little bit of the way because Erynne was also tired and jealous that Emilie was getting carried.. 

So, Colleen brought her to the ER this morning for x-rays ($150.00).  Now she needs to wear that silly blue boot until it can be casted($???.??).

The morale of the story folks… Don’t plan a fun day in the big city with your kids with out being prepared to carry them.
