First week

We survived our first week of VPK! Madison is learning the routine really well. She still has a hard time the last 20 minutes of class because that is when her teacher takes them to another class to go outside with another teacher. This makes Madison very anxious and she will not play on the play ground with the other kids. Yesterday she was standing at the door looking in crying :-( Today she was in the room helping Mrs. Jenny (the teacher she is very attached to) clean her room which is not the best situation. She really needs to learn to play with the other children and realize that she is safe and secure even though her primary teacher is not around. We are still praying about how to handle this.


She has been playing "just Dance" with Morgan every afternoon, and she is so stinkin cute with that remote i her hand & those dance moves...

Yesterday for lunch I gave her noodles (I buy this big pack from Sam's & she loves them). Anyway, she had eaten half the bowl when she got up, went to a drawer in the kitchen & got herself some chopsticks. She came back to the table handed me her fork & said "no pork" (that's how her "fork" sounds. She ate the rest of her noodles with her chopsticks with the biggest smile.... I want to record all these stories on her so that I can have them for later.

Well poor McKinley never went back to school after Tuesday's accident. If she cannot put any weight on her foot by Sunday then she will have to go to Orthopaedic next week and that will probably mean a cast... I really don't want that. But, she has finally started using her crutches but she is not real stable on them and is very fearful that she will fall. Being home this is what she has been doing all week:

Maybe next week will be a little more "uneventful" at the Whitten house:)  I will keep you posted.
