Ballet was just in time tonight - Daddy got there with Madison, and the two of us cross the parking lot in the rain, two umbrellas hoisted up together because there was too much rain today to try and make a dash for it without one.
On the way back from ballet, we stopped at McDonald's. It wasn't really on the game plan, but when we got a coupon for a free kids meal with our Mary Poppins tickets, Daddy decided to let Mommy have a break preparing dinner, and we stopped for fast food. Of course, with Madison, there's more than just food there: you can also get happy meal toys. The manager at this McDonald's location won big when she let Madison have an extra Peanuts toy, so Madison walked away with both Snoopy and Fifi. Yeah, she was pretty happy about that. The manager explained the reasoning for getting Madison a free Fifi, and I quote, "She's just too cute." Of course, she was talking about Madison, not Fifi.
Today, Madison finished her piano, which was a lot of practice this week. There was a prize for this week's practice, but one only found if she could figure out this clue:
Her prize was hiding behind the little cat piano. It's a piano with a cat's face, the teeth are keys. Madison wasn't quite as quick to figure this one out on her own, but with some help from Mommy, she was able to find her prize: it was the movie "Inside Out."
We're thinking about doing this as a series in January, "Inside Out." That said, we couldn't wait until Christmas to open this one. In fact, we may watch it tomorrow night. Tonight, we watched the shorts that were on the disc, which was about all we had time for before bedtime.
We keep reading from her "Game On" devotional that Daddy wrote, and also from "The Isle of the Lost." It's a big book! But Madison enjoys every word, and listens quietly before bed - it's a nice little tradition we have, reading before bed.
Speaking of traditions, she's very quick to make sure we have a new thing to be thankful for each morning this month. No different this morning, she said she was thankful for KidPak. Daddy and Mommy are too - we have so much to be thankful for!

To find your gift will be a breeze
Just find a cat that has the keys.
His teeth play sharp, his purring floats
across the room as he takes notes.
