Bears, boo-boo's and bandaids.....

Madison went on a very exciting field trip today. She and all the first graders at ACA went to DCH Regional Medical Center for the annual Teddy Bear Clinic. Each child brought a "baby" that needed a little medical attention. After much thought and many changes of mind, Madison finally decided this morning to take "Vanilla" her baby polar bear.

Although I was working, I was able to take a break and accompany Madison, Vanilla and Jim through the clinic. Vanilla had a broken leg that needed to be fixed. Madison escorted her furry friend through the triage, x-ray and lab stations. Her broken leg was bandaged and I am happy to report that both Vanilla and Madison are resting well tonight after their big day!
