Reese had her first field trip Monday with her preschool class. Let's just say the day started out a little rough. We had to leave by 8:45 am, which to us, is early :) Around 8:25, Preston decided that when I turned my back for no more than 5 seconds, he wanted to grab a hold of my flat iron and burn 6 of his 10 fingers. I literally turned around to shut the shower curtain, and turn around to see him holding the hot iron- which led to me grabbing it away, and him shrieking in pain and fear. I knew we couldn't miss the field trip or Reese would be devastated, so I rubbed antibiotic ointment on the burns/blisters, and we headed out (on time actually.) He cried the while 30 min ride, but I knew once we got there, the excitement would help him forget, which it did. He was fine all morning. Our neighbor is a wound specialist, so I had her come over and look at them on Wednesday, and she said they blisters are tough (a good sign) and to let them gradually pop and drain, making sure to keep them clean when they pop so the open sores don't get infected. Thus far, 4 of the 6 have popped, and I have been cleaning them out multiple times a day. They don't seem to bother him at all, he plays, eats, and does everything with his hands normally.
So, back to the field trip. Once we got on our way, we had a great time. It was so fun to see Reese interact with all her little friends :) We went to the local apple orchard/pumpkin patch. First we did a hay ride out to pick pumpkins, then the kids had a lesson on apples, and then we picked apples to take home. The weather was perfect fall weather, and Preston was a trooper through the whole thing with his poor little hands.
