Day 294/365 - October 21

It's tragic, but we've had a death in the family.

Shelby didn't make it.

She took a horrible fall at school today.

How, you ask, considering she was so thoroughly protected in that "well thought out and planned container?"

Well, it went a little something like this.

P.E. time. All the kids take their eggs outside with them. They're parents, they have to.

All the babies are lined up in a row. The kickball flies over that direction and takes a bunch of them out...including Shelby.

No biggie...she's protected in her "well thought out and planned container."

Yep, she was.

Until Avery decided to check on her after the fall and opened said container.

Then dropped said container and Shelby to the ground.

That's when her traumatic head injury occurred.

Many, many, many tears were shed over her loss. Mostly because it means points will be taken off her grade.

After a few phone calls, I find out that lots of kids have "damaged" their babies too. Avery decides her only option is to make another baby. So, we do.

And Avery will be taking them both to school tomorrow. {sigh}
