A bittersweet day.

Seven years old today.

Ms B woke up to the customary birthday balloons and pancake stack.
Off to school she went with a huge smile on her face to be greeted by gifts on the bus.
I surprised her later in the day with cupcakes for her classroom, only to find she had just hit her head pretty hard.
I spent awhile in the classroom volunteering and found Ms. B really wasn't feeling too well.
Hours later, and a trip to the doctor, to find she had a concussion.

Poor dear...she took it all in stride. Half her birthday spent feeling miserable, no birthday party tomorrow (not the dance party anyway), and taking it easy for the next few days or so.

It was a very sobering feeling being in Ms. B's classroom today to say the least. Being the tragic events that took place across the country today, I have never been more anxious to see one of my children. I have no words for what happened today. Or rather too many words and feelings to sort through....
