This is a nice photo of the family playing Candy Land with Ava (one of about 50x we played with her). It actually was really fun especially after Ava & Darren crossed the finish line and then Rudy & Jeanie had to race to come in 3rd. They kept drawing the picture cards that send you back near the beginning...pretty funny really.
So why the "drama' title? Because 10 min after this game was completed, Ava jumped from the carpet to the tile and somehow missed her feet. She landed smack on the back of her head and a golf ball size lump appeared there. We got her to calm down but then she would cry again so we decided that since it was almost bed time, we better take her to the emergency room.
Seriously, I thought all the drama and adventures were behind us but I was wrong! Thankfully, it turned out that she was fine (we didn't think she had a concussion but you hate not to take her in with a huge lump on her head). Ava at first did not like the trip to the hospital (she recently has decided doctors are scary and screams and cries when being checked out) but after they gave her a popsicle (to ensure that she could keep it down and she did not have a concussion) and a kitty pillow (guess they have these for the sick kids), she decided that drs weren't too bad. Hoping she keeps the happy feelings when her 4 yr check up comes up since they have to give her 4 shots then!
