A Special Valentines Date

Well, I've been looking for a way to spend some more time with Saryn recently. Apparently she came up with a way before me because I'm currently sitting at the Children's Hospital spending my Valentine's Evening with a super special girl.

We were preparing a special family dinner for Valentine's Day and we were just about to call everyone to come sit down and eat when we heard BANG and Saryn was lying on the floor.

She was swinging between the table and island with one hand on each and lost her balance. Landing on hard tile floor on the chin is a great way to get moms attention. Off we went to the Children's Hospital.

The whole way, she didn't want to listen to music or anything, she was too worried. She needed to know exactly what would happen to her. After explaining that the people at the Children's Hospital LOVED kids and would be so nice to her, she calmed down a little.

In triage, we had a sweet nurse that said the words that Saryn needed. "Oh, that's just fine, the doctor can fix that up NO problem" and "we're going to put some "magic cream" on that so when the doctor fixes it up, it won't hurt you at all.

So far, so good. We're playing Nintendo Games in the waiting room and she's sufficiently distracted. Here's hoping we get in some time soon...

Oh OUCH! Just thought you might like to know that my trip to urgent care with Jarom in Kindergarten he still refers to as his best date ever with Mom. It was good bonding time... and we went to McDonalds after.
