Madison met E.T. tonight, or at least watched a movie about him. This was our "Halloween" movie of the night - the reason we put this movie in this category is that the characters go trick-or-treating at one point. So yeah, it's a "Halloween" movie.
It's probably the most mature of the movies that Madison has seen, and it was pretty fun to watch an older classic movie like this through her eyes - for the first time. Meaning, she had no idea if E.T. was going to live or not, and that whole bit was a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Of course, and here comes the spoilers, you know that this part of the movie has a great pay-off, including that race through the streets on bicycles.
Anyway, it was a fun night. And there was Elliot, who is basically the same age as Daddy, who had the same exact toys in the house before this movie came out. It was such an iconic movie for the 80's. When you think of that decade, of course, there's "E.T." There's Michael Jackson and Pac-Man. But no list of popular 80's cultural moments is complete without "E.T."
Madison is working with fractions a bit, adding those together. She's also reading more, and of course Daddy is still reading to her at night. We're continuing with the "Descendants" book, and tonight's reading from the Bible is from Nehemiah, which is not just about building a wall. But that's what you think.
SPEAKING of "Descendants," we were able to get a costume for Madison, one she will be so excited to get. It's Evie's costume, one that she'll be pretty happy to see. Madison is content with either Mal or Evie.
We had piano this afternoon, and Madison is doing well, for the most part. We're learning to play songs together, that is to say, two people playing at the same time two different songs. That will be happening soon, believe it or not, and Daddy is thinking he'll get to play a little tune with her, one we can play at the same time. Should be fun! Also coming up soon, Madison's Fall Recital! Yes, that'll be here really soon, and she's been practicing almost daily for that as well. Can you believe this will be Madison's last Fall Recital? Yep, next year it becomes a Christmas Recital, which will be her last winter recital of this program. Trying not to think about that far in the future though... Daddy's trying to keep her this age forever!
The rain from Patricia is here, and it's constant and frequently heavy. And amazingly, it's looking like it will clear out just in time for tomorrow night's Gainesville Fall Festival. We're praying for a window tomorrow night, and that just might happen. A week ago, the forecast was 90% chance of rain. That's dropped quite a bit, gradually over the week. It's been great to see.
Oh, speaking of which, it's time for Mommy and Daddy's 'date night.' Time to head up to the guest room, pop on the television and watch the latest episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." See you tomorrow!
