Sorry I have been MIA for so long. We got back from NY on Friday night. Saturday morning I was sick w/a stomach bug. That lasted over till Sunday, and I was finally feeling better on Monday. Tom took 1/2 a day on Monday, which was very nice for Linda and I to have extra time w/him. Thankfully Linda did not get the bug at all!
We finished up our trip to NY. Here is a pic of Linda and Grandma reading a book. The other pic is of Linda and her Mr. Potato head. She put that together and was so proud of the potato head she made that I wanted to get a pic of it. The very first pic is of Linda's painted nails. During dinner tonight I suggested we paint her nails. She got so excited. So we went up, trimmed them, and then painted them. She held so still. Normally she is not very interested in staying still to get her nails cut. But this time she held still, and was a statue for the painting. She wanted to make sure that I put some paint on my nails too. So I slopped some on there for her. Mine don't look pretty like hers, but she was happy to have matching nails w/mom.
I thought this was pretty cool too. Linda and Ryleigh were sitting on the floor facing each other. Ryleigh was using the LeapPad. One of the pages was a map of the US. Linda is familiar w/the map of the US on her wall, and can name approx 20 states. This map looks completely different. So Linda leans over and says, "Look Ry, there is Virginia. That's where I live, in Virginia Beach." She looked at a map she wasn't familiar with, upside down, and could point out states! She does it quite a lot w/Ry too as Ry is looking at letters. Linda can identify the letters upside down. Linda hadn't really read a lot herself while we were in NY. Tonight at dinner she said, "let's do words. We haven't done them in a while." She definitely hasn't missed the week off. She sounded out the words w/no problem.
Happy New Year everyone!
