Katie's appointment today was at 8:30am and it was over by 10. We didn't waste any time getting out of the hospital and into a toy store. We were shopping for a new tricycle for Katie so that she could have another opportunity to exercise her legs. Josh's old tricycle is still too big for her - she can't reach the pedals. We tried out every tricycle at Toys-R-Us until we were sure that we had the one that fit her the best. Then we road around the store shopping for a gift to bring home to Josh. We settled on a Transformer that he has been begging for for weeks.
We left the store with our new toys and headed out to lunch even though it was only twenty minutes after eleven. Katie claimed that she was hungry and I don't argue with her when she says she is hungry. We decided to try out the 99 restaurant because neither of us had eaten there before and we were not disappointed. We both ordered a baked scrod with the perfunctory potato and vegetable. Lunch was great and Katie ate very well.
After lunch, we finally hit the road for home and Katie fell asleep before we were even out of Essex. She slept all the way home and woke up just as we entered Barton. We were home in time to surprise Josh at school and pick him up instead of letting him ride the bus. He was ecstatic and couldn't resist showing off his sister to every kid in the kindergarten and any teacher passing by. We spent the rest of the afternoon caring for the horses and playing around in the backyard. Now we are off to bed because tomorrow morning starts early and it is full of activities. Josh has T-ball at 9 and the farrier is scheduled to show up at the barn at 10. I'll have to get to the barn early because I want to brush out and possibly shampoo the horses before the farrier gets there. They have been enjoying the warm weather and rolling around in the dirt, mud and loose hay.
Good night everyone. Oh, and Katie just told me she's hungry...
