Sometimes Maddy jabbers and jabbers just to hear herself talk. It is cute how she finds the sound of her own voice so entertaining. In this post I find myself jabbering for the same reason, but I'm not as cute.
A cold blustery day and Dallas, TX don't really seem to go together but that's the mix we've got here today and, despite all the promises from the weathermen, no snow-or precipitation of any kind.
Maddy got a "new" toy on Sunday. Someone from church thought she'd enjoy it and they gave it to her. She is absolutely in love with this thing. It is funny how the simplest toys are the best.
This past Saturday we went to Bodies the Exhibition with the students who are part of the medical/dental student association. They needed a chaperon for some reason and Aaron was the only prof available to do it that day so we got to go for free. I was a little iffy about going. Viewing plasticized, dissected human bodies really didn't sound like a great experience to me, but it turned to be very fascinating and not as gross as I expected. In fact it was mostly just amazing to see the complexity of the human body and the artistry of God's design. For those who saw or have heard of Body Works this was not the same thing. This was a smaller more educational exhibit put together by a guy who worked with the guy who did Body Works.
Aaron decided to feed Maddy some of his yogurt out of a big spoon. For some reason Maddy loves eating out of a big person spoon. She also loved big person yogurt but I think it gave her a really bad diaper rash so we won't try that again for a while.
Saturday is the Cowtown. I am so not in shape and not ready for this race but I am looking forward to my mom being here to run it with us, even though I am not looking forward to the embarrassment of being smoked by her. She is going to do awesome. She is the only one of us who had put in the training and effort needed to run a good race. Hopefully I will somehow qualify for the ascent in August--if I keep my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed. Also hoping for good weather that day. The weather has been so crazy who knows what we'll end up with.
One more thing is that I think I forgot to talk about the appointment we had with the hand team at Scottish Rite a couple of weeks ago. They just looked at her hands and said they were looking great. Yeah, thanks to her therapists at Plano Presbyterian who are willing to actually try to do some splinting right now! So we are supposed to see them in another 6 months but getting anything done as far as hands at SR is definitely on hold right now. They also referred her to a craniofacial doctor at Children's because of her recessed chin. Doctors have always commented that her breathing sounds slightly funny so they were wanting to get that checked out in case it was affecting anything. They were supposed to set up the appointment for us but I haven't heard a thing from them so we'll see how it all plays out.
Anyone else pumped that the US is winning the medal count in the Olympics right now? I am excited about watching skiing tonight.
