Madison Explains Subtraction

So here is that video of Madison, teaching subtraction to a homebound student.  She goes through a few different methods to arrive at the solution, and is just cute as anything as she does it all.  I'm the Daddy, of course, and I love listening to all of this.  First of all, from a practical level - she's doing well in math.  But from a "gosh, that's so cute" level too!

Tonight was our Movie Bash Night, where the kids got to see - again - a certain movie that just came out on Blu-Ray this past Tuesday.  It was "Frozen" night, and a few of the kids had a parent that made her own Elsa costume!

This was a big hit.  The whole night was a big hit - but the highpoint for Daddy was when Madison and the hundreds of kids there all sang karaoke-style at the end:  "Let it Go."  The words were on the screen as the karaoke music played - and those kids were really, really loud!

Here's Daddy and a few others really enjoying it all.  It was simply amazing!  Of course, Madison had a great time.  We hadn't actually watched the movie since it came out on Tuesday, although we picked it up that afternoon.  So it was a great time watching it again, this time with popcorn and a drink.  Madison sat with some new friends and enjoyed the movie, along with a movie short, and of course the karaoke sing-a-long.  That's about all there was time for, as soon the parents were on their way back to pick the kids up.  One kid lost her tooth during the movie, so Daddy made a special "Frozen" "Lost Tooth" certificate to commemorate the occasion.  Fun night!

This movie really is a phenomenon.  Every kid in that audience knew the words to not only that song, but just about all the others too.  And Madison is right there with them.  This will be one of those soundtracks that she'll never forget, I suspect, a soundtrack of her childhood in a way.

What a fun day it was for her.  A late night too, but we can sleep in a tiny bit tomorrow, and that's okay!
