Day 1689. Randy is often up before the alarm goes off at 7:15, because Sammy is the first one up and is up early. Emmy then is the next one up. Tammy and I stay in bed as long as possible. When Randy had breakfast ready at 7:45, I encouraged her to get up and go have breakfast as well, though that's hard for her right after getting up.

Day 1688. A few days ago Emmy's big toe started hurting from an ingrown nail, and it was getting worse. It was only yesterday I started putting essential oils on it, which I should have started earlier. Randy was pushing to take him to the hospital. This morning, you could see a big blister on his foot, and I gave in.

Day 1687. Sammy had his third horsetherapy session and so he did not go to kindergarten. He stayed home with me, while Randy took the other two to kindergarten. When he returned home at 9:30 am, he still had an hour at home and took Sammy downstairs. At 10:30 they left the house together and they were back before 12:30.
