Today was Ian's birthday party at a nearby oratory. We were all waiting outside for a while wondering what was going on and where was Ian and why they didn't let us in. Eventually, somebody did and a while later the birthday boy and his dad arrived. Ian's littlest brother grabbed a pot of boiling water it poured down part of his face and body last night. They rushed to the hospital (good ol san raffaele) and Licia (Ian's mom) was there all night with him. Poor Leon has second degree burns, but they cleaned, medicated and dressed everything and sent him home-but you know how the hospitals work here. They tell you someone is coming to help you soon, but it takes forever for that to happen. Especially to get dismissed from the hospital. He was let out around the time the party was supposed to start. Good ol Licia-didn't want to disappoint Ian, so she rallied, gathered her stuff and ran from hospital to party and threw a darn good show! I've forgotten the name of her character, but the kids loved her and had loads of fun!
They played toss the pig. Danced. Ran. Giggled. Laughed.
