Today started out kind of stressful. Last night we noticed a skin tag behind Joel's left ear that he has had for years had suddenly broken open and there are about 5 or 6 dark brown spots on it. What is particularly worrisome about this is that Joel is a redhead and as such is more apt to get skin cancers AND (the B-I-G reason) at 24 I had a malignant melanoma on my chest that had to be removed. Let this be a warning to all - If you have a mole, skin tag, freckle etc. that all of a sudden changes color or shape or begins to grow - do NOT wait, get to a physician and get it cut out and get a biopsy done on the removed piece. It's better to be safe than ... dead! Melanoma left untreated WILL kill you.
Next we went to Phoebe's ballet and tap class. The same teacher does both. There were 5 kids total in the class. The other 4 were lithe and slender. Phoebe is the only one built on a Ram-Tough 3/4 ton chassis. She isn't fat, just wide. Dick Vitale would call her a "paint-eater" or an "aircraft carrier" if she were a basketball player.
Here are some videos of her doing ballet:
After Ballet and going to eat Joel, Phoebe and I went to the "Odessa Meteor Crater" while Irene and Brenda went home. The crater wasn't exactly the Meteor Crater that is in Arizona - in fact you could mistake it for just a sink hole if you lived in Florida but it is impressive to a 4 year old.
