I wore my last years Metzler's shirt since it was Friday.

Barbara took this picture for my dad.  He is a U of T fan.
 
I was outside by 7:35... no other kids were there yet.... we waited and waited and no bus came and no kids came.  At 7:50am we were sure I had missed the bus, but that was okay because Mommy could take me to school.  And Barbara could have taken me.  Normally she is already at Anna Kate's but Andy is off work today, so she only has to babysit for three hours later in the day while Andy mows and cleans up his yard.

Mommy dropped me off at school on her way to work.

.... Bad news.....  First thing when I jumped off the bus I showed Barbara my hands.  I had several bad blisters on both hands.  I got them from playing on the playground equipment at school.  Tomorrow is my Ninja competition.  We are worried that I won't be able to participate.

Barbara and Mimz met at Sprout's.  Mimz looked at my hands and the wheels started turning.  She was trying to decide what could be done to help blisters not stop me from the competition.  She bought some gel bandaids and tape and some fingerless gloves.  This was a worry for us all evening  and the next day too.
