Little Miss had a big adventure last night - a trip to the hospital emergency room. Nothing serious mind you, but she had somehow managed to get a little heart shaped sticker stuck to her eyeball which had to be dealt with. Not that she minded, it wasn’t causing her any real discomfort or pain and had in fact been there for 24hours before being dealt with - it had happened the day before and then disappeared before reappearing last evening.

So anyway we packed up her little backpack with books, her sunggzies, a drink and a choccie treat for after the traumatic experience (nothing like a bribe to ensure bravery) and headed of on her trip to the emergency room. The funny thing was rather than being nervous or scared about anything she was genuinely excited by the whole adventure.

She was so happy to be out in her pj’s in the dark, really looking forward to going to hospital and seeing the doctor. She even amazed me by talking to both the nurse and the doctor when we where there. All in all I would have to recommend a trip to the emergency room as a pleasant bonding experience, provided it is nothing life threatening off course.
