No Cavities!

First of all, we slept in.  Big time.  All of us were up late watching the lunar eclipse last night, so it was great timing that we actually all had the day off today.  Good news for all of us!

Speaking of good news:  no cavities!  There wasn't any bad news today so much, but the fact that Madison is doing so well with her teeth is something to brag about.  We went to the dentist this morning, squeezing in yet another appointment for her.  We have a few more to go, including a big visit with the optometrist this Friday.  But let's celebrate today, shall we?  The dentist office is a nice place for Madison, as the staff there are always very pleasant.  Madison was complimented a few times on her smile, and the dentist confirmed that everything was coming in to place very nicely.  A quiet reality has struck:  no more lost teeth, or visits from the Tooth Fairy.

Afterwards, we went and did a bit of grocery shopping.  Daddy has been feeling much better lately, as our diet has been really different in January as usual.  We got a lot of soups and salads and fruits, and a lot of vegetables too. We try new things, and with Mommy cooking, it's all been so good.

Of course, today is MLK day, so we had a day off for Madison, one she used to do a bit of catching up with piano at home.  She did some reading, and some drawing too - she's working in an art book, sketching out on pages a few drawings of people, learning to draw the basic form.  She keeps at it, and it's nice to see.

Piano was good, and Madison is doing better there - we're starting to hear a little progress on certain numbers.  She's keeping at it, and this soundtrack of piano practice sounds nice throughout the house.    Mommy was a little tired, so we didn't do the board game tonight, but we did watch a few episodes of "Rebels," a few where they were back on one of Daddy's favorite planets, Genesis.  Don't ask why.  But that led us to go back to Battlefront II, where we were playing that level for a while.  Madison and Daddy always team up - it's always a big place so you never really have to worry too much about stepping on each other's toes.  But we're still enjoying the Star Wars games.

Afterwards, it was time for an early bed.  Last night we were up late with the eclipse, so it was good to try to get to bed earlier tonight.  How funny and ironic that in our reading tonight, there's a total lunar eclipse that takes place in this book.  Daddy had no idea about this as we picked the book, or as we were reading along.  It just so happened that there was a total eclipse in the story!

We read the devotional too and said our prayers tonight, and got to bed a bit early all of us.  It'll be good to have a good night's rest as we start our short week tomorrow.
