Elle has been practicing a cello duet with her friend for like, two months. They signed up to play at the solo ensemble festival at school. Their Jr. High teacher is in charge of the whole thing, so that makes it even more fun!
Last night, Elle went to her friend Mitali's house so Mitali's teacher could coach them. They are sounding so great!
She had a dream that night that she broke her arm and couldn't play in the festival! That would be terrible!
Today, Mitali (and another friend) walked home from school with Elle. After snack we went to Elle's teacher so he could coach the girls too. (He was so bummed when the time was up because he said he was having so much fun!)
After the practice, we dropped off Mitali and went home. As Elle and I were chillaxing on the couch, she said, "So, guess what happened in PE today?"

While Elle was doing an awesome job at defense in their basketball game, the ball landed on her finger and her finger made a pop! sound.
She was a good girl and went to the nurse and got ice.
She didn't have a chance to tell me about it until we got back from the 45min practice with her teacher and Mitali. By then her finger was swollen and turning purple.
It was so sad. We didn't want to go to urgent care because we knew they would at least splint her finger and then she wouldn't be able to play cello in the festival!
We thought about it, but couldn't justify doing anything but heading over just to make sure it wasn't broken.
It's not. (Thank goodness)
We told the doctor about the festival and she almost cried when she told us Elle couldn't play in it! She was very nice.
While we were there, I texted Chris that "A basketball bit Elle's finga"

I told Elle she was prophetic and thankfully it was just a finger sprain and not a broken arm!
(she said she was prophetic because she's narrating the Priest in Romeo and Juliet at school and he is prophetic! ha ha)
Anyway, when we got home, Elle was lamenting about all the things she can't do. . .
Like help with building cleanup tomorrow ;)
Like playing basketball with her team in PE--there are only three of them so she'll be greatly missed!
Like being able to work on her piece in ceramics. Chris said, "You can put a plastic bag over your head and then you can do ceramics" Which was totally funny. (he meant to say "hand" of course)
Most of all, she's disappointed that she can't play cello--especially not in the festival tomorrow!
Poor thing.
:(
