Hammerhead Yak

Here he is the Hammerhead Yak, riding atop a saluting Hammerhead Whale.  This was such a funny part of an extra feature on "How to Train Your Dragon."  This was just one of the movies we watched today, as indeed, Daddy took a sick day.  He knew things would be okay at church, as we're doing this movie series and he worked hard to have everything all lined up in advance.  Anyway, the movie was great, and it was the first time Madison actually saw it.  Earlier, I think we thought the dragons were a little too intense.  But it was okay now, and it was kind of interesting looking at all the promos for a live show they are doing - I think we're definitely going to go see that if it tours anywhere near here.

In the meantime today, he was heavily medicated all day, pretty much vegging out.  We squeezed in some piano practice, but to be honest, it wasn't an overly productive day with Madison.  She watched a lot of television - although we did do some of the computer work on her school site.  We've been doing a bit of that each day, and she's averaging about three gold medals a day, learning new things like position, probability, and even the value of coins.  It's a very good program, as she wants to get more and more, and along the way she's learning basic skills.

Tonight's main feature was "Return of the Jedi," just because she asked.  She simply had to find out what happened to Han Solo.  She knew he had to be okay, but she wanted to see for herself, so we again gathered in the great room to watch Episode VI.  Sure enough, there was a happy ending - and Daddy was proud to say he was there with Madison when she watched Episode VI for the first time.  It was very cool, even without a hammerhead yak.
