Pretty much a work day today. Madison and Mommy were working, but in a different direction entirely: they were getting ready for the ballet recital tomorrow. It was a long and arduous practice, taking up pretty much most of the day. The irony is that Madison was only involved in one small portion, a segment that lasts less than three minutes or so. The end result was a lot of using the Leapster and Kindle as she waited with Mommy. Also, there was some coloring involved. Here's Madison's latest masterpiece, "Hulk Smash!"
She turned this soldier into the Hulk by coloring him green. No gamma rays required. Then she turned to Mommy to ask her how to spell "smash!" Was this a subconscious way of expressing the decreasing patience she was feeling at practice? Or maybe it was just her showing that inner geek that Daddy is so proud of right now. Here's another masterpiece:
This one seems to be a commentary on war itself. Note the colorful band-aids and the large word "booomm" in the background. Is that a black mushroom cloud with a lock in its middle, symbolizing a holding back on nuclear warfare until the end of days? Is that one band-aid shooting up mortar fire - what does that mean? Are his feet and arms bound with those band-aids, symbolizing how our government prevents our military from completing what is need to be done? What is the big red circle there, floating off the distance like a giant red sun? So many questions in this one piece of artwork! It's so profound and yet simplistic!
Okay, anyway, meanwhile Daddy is getting ready for Summer Xtreme. We filmed cowboys, vikings, luchadors and more today, and at the end of it all, I was able to race home just in time to say goodnight to Madison. It was a surprise that I could make it home, so she was delighted to see me, hopping out of bed and racing down the hall to greet me as I marched up the stairs.
Everything is ready for tomorrow, from ballet to the services we have planned at KidPak. But we've got a long way to go for getting ready for Summer Xtreme. It'll be a busy, busy, busy week!
