Scene it?

Tonight, Daddy and Madison had a great game of Disney "Scene It?" This game is basically trivial pursuit, but it uses a DVD and shows scenes from movies, or pictures, or drops clues about something you have to guess. Madison did surprisingly well - my favorite moment came when she saw a picture of the dolly. It didn't show who held the dolly, but she recognized it immediately as Shan-Yu, and therefore knew it was a scene from the movie "Mulan." Very good, Madison!

She's still a bit under the weather, which is why we did some board games tonight. We did the game "Trouble" next, and after that watched "Fantasia 2000" once again. Madison really enjoyed this one, laughing at the baby whale and watching intently the animation that supported "Rhapsody in Blue." Great sequence there, by the way!

We'll see how she does tomorrow - hopefully a little better. Until then, tonight's bedtime story was a good one. A very good one. We read from a children's Bible, and told Madison several stories about Jesus. She was so intently listening, so we went from "storytelling" mode into something much deeper before bedtime. It was a very good moment.
