Much to my dismay, the picture is blurry, goodness only knows why. Here’s the first day of kindergarden, as a contrast.
It was also her first day on the gymnastics team, three hours of which wore her out completely.
It was also the day of the first…
Eggs! Yes, we now have hens that are laying! Here’s the egg in the nesting box:
And here’s the dotter discovering the egg (okay, it’s a re-enactment, but, hey…):

All in all, a very momentous day.
In the meantime, OmegaDad is sick and miserable. We thought he had pulled a muscle over the weekend. I hauled him into the doctor, and we decided to do a two-fer: him for the pain, me for my horribly itchy, scratchy head, which I feared might be lice. But according to the doc, it’s a staph infection. Um. This is good, right? Rather than lice? Anyway, OmegaDad got progressively worse over the course of the day, and when we returned from the gymnasium, he was running a fever of 102F. Which does not sound like he pulled a muscle, after all.
