ava's skating coach is the hero of the summer. she rescued the blanket, put it in the front seat of her car, and now we can go get it first thing in the morning. she gave me explicit directions to the location of her car as well as a lot of advice regarding dealing with ages 2-6...

peter got a new blanket too.

so, i mobilized the troops, and we won the battle.

jeez. this is exhausting. particularly emotionally.
