Poor Jessie

Today was swimming day with Brenda. A day Jessie looks forward to from Wednesday until the next Tuesday. There is usually one week a month she can't swim, but it usually happens before she gets there. Today they were getting ready to go in the pool and already had Jessie's top on. She went to put her swim shorts on and ... Oh, No! She had started her period. Brenda said she looked so disappointed and big tears rolled down her cheeks! Thankfully, Brenda is very good at comforting her and redirecting her. They got dressed and went and played in the gym. I felt so sorry for her when I found out what happened. She does very well with her periods, but there's no way she understands why it happens - especially on swimming days!
