Today… did not go as planned. I got a call from Sidwell at 11 that A was feeling dizzy and was in the nurse's office. She was feeling dizzy yesterday too. So I picked her up at school midday and she went to the doctor. We still don't know what's causing the dizziness – low iron? thyroid? – but will hopefully know more once the blood work comes back. The big deal is that A has serious needle phobia and she managed to get her blood drawn for the first time ever. She was extremely nervous but she survived. We played "I Want It That Way" on Spotify and pulled up some entertaining Dwight Shrute videos to distract her, and it worked. Hopefully she will be feeling better tomorrow.

M is readying for Model UN this weekend at the Washington Hilton (she said "No, Mom, it's not the Hinckley Hilton, it's the Washington Hilton"). She'll be gone from Thursday to Sunday. Boo hoo.

N is going to the Air and Space Museum on Friday and Daddy may chaperone. Exciting.
