Maggie's sick day

We tried out Uh Oh pediatric emergency care this morning and was glad we went on in. Maggie has strep. So we canceled the Christmas get together we were going to have. Maggie got a shot and should be feeling better soon. In the mean time we've had a lazy day at home. She and I have been working hard on some "do-a-dot" artwork this evening.

Reading!

Here Hank is pointing to his favorite part of the Dr. Seuss book "Wacky Wednesday." He just worked his way through reading the WHOLE book with my help on a couple of words. He said he didn't think he could read a book, but he sure did! So proud. Even if he is mostly doing it so he can talk about a tree in a toilet :)

Book Fair

I posted this photo online a couple of weeks ago, but wanted to store it away here also. Mary Margaret and I both accompanied Hank's class to the Book Fair at school right before they left for Thanksgiving and it was just the sweetest thing. Hank kept spotting books that Maggie might enjoy, and then after we narrowed down his book selection, he offered one culled book to a friend who had also been interested in that one. He ended up buying (with his own money) a Doc McStuffins book for Maggie and a 3-D animal book with TWO pairs of glasses for himself. Then Grandmama bought one for Hank's class, and was to order one that he REALLY wanted but wasn't in stock. And then, because he was being so sweet, I bought him one of those goofy pointer things that he always goes crazy over. He found a Sophia the First book for Maggie that came with its own REAL AMULET NECKLACE! So if I was going to get that for Maggie I needed to balance it out with something he wanted. He picked the glow-in-the-dark-skeleton-hand variety of pointer and was thrilled to pieces.

He really can be extra thoughtful sometimes :)

Maggie has thoroughly enjoyed all her books and her special necklace.
