Just Another Update

I went to school this morning and it turned out fine. We had the usual flying notes and thrown eraser shavings when the teacher wasn't looking and just the boring, long explanations. I've really started enjoying going to school and I'm really happy with my kind classmates. I took the bus home and talked with Alessia and waved to Klara, Miriam, Lucia, and Giulia who were also on the daily bus.
I got home starving and we had got pizza from Massimo's when it started raining. We quickly pulled in the laundry and finished our meal.
I finished my homework and by the end I noticed that I was having a hard time staying awake so I took a short nap and got ready to leave for the doctor's office. We didn't think the car could go down the hill safely with all of us in it so Florence and I walked while the others were dropped off. We found an area with two benches and one that looks like it hasn't been sat on in a while because it was covered with weeds. There were four boys on the wall above us and we watched them while we waited for Mummy to come and pick us up.
I must say that the doctor's looked like the most professional place that I've seen so far and that's not saying much. We walked into waiting area with a few colored chairs and heard the other patients talking in the room right across from us. I'm pretty sure they only had two rooms in the whole place.
Anyway, when the other people came out Eleanor went in and it only took her about ten minutes. I waited my turn and it looked like more of a school principal's office than a doctor's office except for the obvious scales and medical bed.
They made me stand on the scale to check my weight and then up against the wall for my height. Next I was told to sit on the medical bed and the doctor pulled up my shirt to check my breathing and blood pressure. I then was showed a block and I stood on it. It had a glass top and a mirror on the bottom and sides so you could see the bottom of my feet when I was on it. Then he made me step up and down on it sixty times to get my heart rate up. When I was done, I sat back down on the bed and he listened to my heart again.
When everyone was done we went out to our tiny car and somehow crammed in. One guy came by and snickered and said we needed a bigger car, but Mummy told him that she's not getting one and he watched us finish packing in. That was the first time all of us have been in the car at once, well not including Daddy.
Mummy dropped Eleanor and me off where we had the Boy Scouts festival to make more room and we walked back up while the others made a trip to the school supplies store.
We got home, cooled off, and helped bring the groceries in when the others got back.  We made dinner, which was absolutely delicious. Almost too delicious--I felt sick from eating too much.
We just finished the chores and now I'm about to get ready to sleep.
I can't wait until tomorrow because I have gym, literature, grammar, geometry, and science and I get to see my friends again!

Love you all,
Ashley
