We joined our playgroup friends this afternoon at the Pasadena Ice Rink and enjoyed watching Sofia cling for dear life to the side rails. It'd been YEARS since I'd been on skates, but amazingly managed to keep myself on my feet the entire time. Sofia, on the other hand, well... let's just say she was a good sport. The best part was at the end when she commented. "mom, I did pretty good, huh?" And although I suggested she may want to take some lessons, she insisted against it "but, I know how to already". UH-huh.... we'll see how the second ice skating trip goes.
OH- and I can't fail to mention the coins that rained in my car on the way home. Yup! My car hit the jackpot. As we're pulling into the driveway, I notice an unusual silence; I turn around and she has a blank look on her face. "Sofia, what's wrong?" "um... you promise you won't give me a time-out?" "no, what's wrong?" "um....I swallowed a penny" "A WHAT??!!- how'd that happen?" "well, um..... it just accidentally fell into my mouth"
I will spare you the details, but let's put it this way, we've been home-bound for a week now. For you parents out there, it's NEVER too late to remind your kids- school-aged, even, to keep things out of their mouths!! Ironically, her very good friend swallowed a quarter a few days later. The strange part was that they hadn't even spoke to each other after Sofia's incident. The quarter was lodged in her esophagus and she ended up in the ER having to have it surgically removed. We haven't had that happen... yet :( Hoping to find it this week or else??
We will have to go ice skating when you guys are in OC. How did you get into your playgroups? Thanks for the public service announcement, I can't believe that happened to either of the girls, very scary. Find the penny yet?
ReplyDeleteIce Skating in OC would be great! Playgroup goes way back to when Sofia was 6 mos old, believe it or not! Great group of women! Met thru Huntington Hospital mommy and me class! No penny found in Xray!
