Open House!

It was Maddie's open house tonight at her first grade classroom. She was super excited to for us to see all her art work and projects that she has been working on all semester. She was also excited to see her teacher that went out on maternity leave. We had a great time, until the end.

I felt kind of bad for Madeline, because this night was supposed to be all about her. Chris was home today, so we made it a family evening. The girls had fun too, until Ava wanted to go outside while Chris was talking to the teacher. He held her hand and Ava pulled so hard that she ended up falling to the floor. I still don't know what she did, but she cried (well screamed actually) for like 5 minutes when we decided that we should leave. While Chris took Ava outside, I tried to stay in the classroom with Maddie. At this point I see Chris and he says, "we have to go". So I gather up Maddie, say our goodbyes and head out the door. Ava is still screaming and Lucy had a pee accident. She proceeds to take off her wet pants and underwear showing her bottom to many people...... So here we are, all 5 us, walking down the crowded hallways with 2 screaming toddlers in tow. Oh.my.gosh.... Ava continued to scream for a few hours and we were just getting ready to take her to urgent care we the more calm side of me thought to just try and giver her a bath and get her to bed. Well, it might have worked, but I don't know. She is still crying off and on guarding her wrist.

In fact, I hear her crying now...... BBL
