I was positive that today would be the day Aliya would pass inspection with the school nurse, so when Ben suggested getting a pet monkey to pick out the nits I poo-pooed the idea. I may have to reconsider. At very least I need to invest in one of those giant lighted magnifiers on a stand. The nurse only found 7 nits today (still no live lice or hatchlings) so we’re getting there. The school district has a “no nit” policy, which is a really good thing, but it means that if I miss one teeny little nit – literally the size of the mark from a fine-tipped pen on paper, Aliya misses school, play practice, and the pajama day reward won by her class. No pressure.
