Although I insisted she skip Double Dutch anyway. Either she WAS more injured this morning than she is now, in which case she shouldn't push it, or she was overreacting, in which case I cannot let her think that she can do that on purpose and still get her treat. She actually just *forgot* she couldn't walk and then she could again! (And this after I lugged her in the wrap first to the supermarket and then, carrying groceries, to the school and home again with her sister! I love my wrap, though. You can't do that without a wrap, no matter how small your 8-year-old kidlet is!)

It's hard to tell with her, because when she's going "oh, it hurts it hurts, I can't I can't" I know she really believes it'll hurt a ton if she does whatever-it-is and that she can't do it. I know she believes she has to limp and not bend that knee and whatnot. But that doesn't mean it's true in any physical sense, and therein lies the problem. She does this about everything (the number of 98F "fevers" she has is absurd!), so I did think it'd be the case about this as well, though it could easily have gone either way. You can never tell if this time it's something serious. Lucky for us she's generally in good health, huh?
