I've Got a Teensy Weensy Valentine

Yesterday was C's Preschool Valentine's Day Presentation at a local park. They played games...


Sang songs...(Teensy Weensy Valentine being my all-time fave.)


Looked adorable...


And bagged lots of sweets...


After the party, I took C to the Dr. to verify that he didn't break his foot last week when he fell down the stairs. (He didn't.) He's still limping, but carries about as usual.

Meanwhile, the reason why I questioned his limp's authenticity is because right now limping is really hot in our family as I've been limping for about 7 weeks because of my dumb knee. I finally broke down and bought a big black brace that has, in little over a day, changed my life.

Thank goodness.

The lady that existed prior to the knee brace was scary and mean. She snipped at the dog for bumping her leg as she vied for attention. She snapped at frolicking children if they happened to venture within 3 feet of her personal space. She was afraid of walking outside as each step could potentially force her knee into a painful position. She dreaded walking into a messy room. She was a broken record constantly stuck on, "That's my hurt knee. Watch out for my leg." (Stated in a frantic tone.) It was annoying. I'm so glad that she's gone.

Life around here is certainly a lot more pleasant thanks to the BBB (Big Black Brace).

It's good to be back.

Soooo glad to hear you have the BBB! I've been praying you would be able to find something to help. As for that lady that existed pre-BBB, I still enjoyed her and her hospitality last week-end. Take care!
