| I'm getting really worried about Isabel. Her tummy has been bothering her off and on for a week. She mostly keeps things down, but doesn't "have a taste" for most food, so she's eating practically nothing. We can't find food that she'll eat. It's a bit scary. Stress? Stomach virus? Melamine? Beginnings of anorexia? |

| Isabel was really sick Saturday, and had kept nothing down for a couple of days by the time she went out on the white course Sunday. So she was pretty weak and had to sit down a couple of times, but she made it through the course OK.
I was proud of David for hanging in there on his first competitive yellow course - at West Point, no less. It was, needless to say, harder than your typical yellow. He had to do some serious relocating a few times. He got all but one control Saturday and all on Sunday. I told him before going out Sunday to slow down whenever he saw someone else, to "monkey bar" between features, and to orient his map at controls... He's easily cowed by how well the other kids do, so I hope he doesn't completely give up hope. |
