So today was Wednesday, which makes for a fairly busy sort of day. Especially when one is down to only one car, as we were. This is the new situation in our lives, the juggling of travel and work and appointments and school and all that sort of confusion. We're looking into options for a new car, but we're sort of in a more patient state of mind - we can afford to wait, for the time being.
Madison is learning fractions already - can you believe it? She is actually doing various word problems that sort of spell out different simple fractions. I don't think she is adding them together or doing anything other than understanding them. But this is a big step. And she seems to be taking it all in stride, which is pretty amazing actually.
She is still doing her toe bath, but her toe is in fact getting better. This is definitely going to be good news for Saturday, as she's supposed to be going roller skating that day. She's looking forward to it, especially now that her toe doesn't hurt so much. Her daily toe bath is a luxury she's gotten quite used to - this is the most we've used this device in years. But it is getting put to good use, so that's a major plus.
Madison finished a good bit of her piano assignments, which meant it was time for a weekly reward of sorts, and this one actually was yet another holdover from Christmas. It was donated to us, a roller skating Monster High doll. It's another version of Frankie, who has now joined the rest of the Monster High friends in the playroom. They all stand around and catch up on the latest news, while posing or trying on new clothing. Madison spends a bit more time in the playroom than she ever has before, all thanks to these dolls.
As it is Wednesday, Daddy didn't have time to head home. We had a staff meeting, and a big one. It was outside, so it was actually very pleasant - the weather outside was absolutely perfect. Daddy suggested we all meet outside, and sure enough, everyone else was all on board for the idea. In fact, as I wrap up, here's the KidPak staff out on the playground just outside the church:
