Surprise!

When E returned this morning from dropping es at preschool, she parked her car on the street so she could get to the ladder easily when she had a break.  She wanted to trim the wisteria again; it grows on the trellis on the upper deck, extending tendrils toward the walls and roof.  Already it is back to where it was before she cut it a week ago, or maybe ten days.  And she didn't want es to watch this particular event involving a ladder and sharp clippers.  Soon ec and I left for the farmers' market, about a 15 minute walk.  We bought peaches, a lovely tomato, a cantaloupe, and a huge sticky bun.

When we got back the car was gone, so I figured E had either finished her trimming and put the car in the garage or had left on an errand.  Well, she had indeed been out in the car...to pick up es, who had vomited up her breakfast and been sent home.  She was fine the rest of the day, no fever, no more vomiting, no other signs of illness.  After light eating she did take a nap, after which she was treated to a video, "Cinderella."  She showed me where the DVD player was, then pulled her little teal chair into position for viewing.  She watched intently, commenting occasionally on what she saw.  I hadn't watched this movie in many years, so it was fun to see it with her.

I'm glad E was home so she could get es.  I haven't yet been to the preschool to drop off or pick up, though I will before long so I can learn the procedure in case I need to help out this way.
