Ups and Downs

It was a pretty eventful week in our house. Ted and I both had to work late a couple of days this week, we managed to get to the gym twice more, and Maddy started her new series of classes at the gym. She did swimming lessons on Tuesday and still really liked the water. She did better with keeping the ear wax in her ears because of the tubes and jumped in and went under water quite a few times. She's getting better with kicking and paddling at the same time and is well on her way to becoming a fish :) She also started back up with gymnastics on Saturday (see pictures below!). Maddy jumped right back in and had a blast. She was much better on the balance beam this time and the rings were a big hit again. Also, we were lucky to get assigned to Coach Alex again who Maddy really likes. He's amazing with the kids!

Unfortunately on Wednesday, we got a call that Maddy was sick at daycare and had already thrown up a couple of times. Luckily I was in Tacoma for an all day conference that I hadn't left for yet, so I was able to pick her up and stay home with her. Ted stayed home with her for most of the morning on Thursday and since it had been over 24 hours since she had been sick, and she was begging to go back to daycare, she was off. No more issues now!

Also, my friend Gina from Penn State (who is in my PhD program) is visiting this weekend. Maddy, Gina and I are having a blast hanging out! More pics to come from the rest of our weekend!

Here are some more funny things Maddy says!

Maddy helps me check the mail. Today when we came inside she was carrying an envelope from our insurance company. She opened it up and exclaimed, "it's calamari!"
