Back to Back

Madison joined us for a trip to Forsyth County again, and met Doc Williams and the staff of Valley Chiropractic Wellness Center once more - to her great delight. I can't say enough how much she loves jumping into that room and lying face down on the table. She pretends she's an assistant and helps cover Mommy or Daddy with the blankets, gives us tissues and helps to make sure our feet are aligned. When it is her turn, she giggles and laughs all the way through!

"Love it!" Dr. Williams says afterwards.

Madison usually gets a sticker or two, and today was no different. We stayed in Cumming a little while longer and looked for some new books for her at Goodwill - and today Daddy did pretty good. He got a huge Thomas the Train book, with just about all the stories in it. Also: three books by William Joyce, and a neat Bug's Life book that helps to teach numbers. Madison enjoyed the Bug's Life book tonight as we read it to her in the reading chair. For good measure, we read the Chinese New Year book again too. That's coming up pretty soon. In fact, today we spent quite a bit of time making a Chinese New Year card to send out to everyone. Some will get it in an e-mail (that's cheaper!), and some will get it on Saturday or Sunday, along with their special red envelope that Madison will fill later this week.

Another holiday coming up soon is Valentine's Day, of course. It seems unusual, but both Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day fall on the same day this year. You'd think the Chinese would have planned that out better!

Anyway, Mommy will make some crafts with Madison this week, and it should be a fun week. Last week, there was just so much to do!

Tonight, Mommy made us Chicken Pot Pie, and dinner was gobbled up very quickly! "Chew, chew, chew," we have to tell Madison sometimes. She enjoys dinner time. "Thank you," she tells Mommy, as her food is put down in front of her. Such good manners. Such good food!

We were all pretty exhausted still from this weekend, so it was somewhat of a restful day. No doubt, things will pick up some tomorrow. Still, we managed to squeeze in some lessons with letters using the refrigerator magnets. Madison has all the letters arranged on the refrigerator, and when we call them out, she can point out most of the ones we say. Again, I'm astonished she knows Q so well, and seems to struggle with P or even S from time to time!

In any event, it was not a huge eventful day, but we did manage to pack in a few memories. It appears we have a busy weekend coming up, so there'll certainly be plenty of opportunities for photos and fun then. Actually, the fun never stops around here - Madison makes sure of that!
