I have been sick since Monday. Ugh. Just a cold - not bad enough to be confined to bed, but bad enough to make me feel dysfunctional. But life still goes on and I still have to function! We didn't get to Taekwon Do on Monday or Tuesday, but I took Carmie this afternoon. I got to watch, which was nice, because I never see her in action. She's doing really well! We are grading next month, so she's excited and nervous for that.
This morning I took Carmie back to the paediatrician for a follow-up appointment, and we got her X-ray results. She does not have scoliosis! Woot woot! She does have a curvature of the spine and has to be monitored for it, but she starts at the physio tomorrow, so I expect her to be fine as far as scoliosis is concerned. It's a relief!
We have had a bit of rain this week, and horse riding was washed out on Tuesday. Our equine therapist cancelled the kids' lessons, but unbelievably, Arley was upset and asked if he could go out and just groom the horses! I was dumbfounded - he never wants to leave the house! So she gave him a grooming session, and he was happy. It's such a good sign! Carmie chose to stay home, so I set her some homework to do. She is still writing her novella and participating in a creative writing class, which she is really enjoying. She has also gotten very into animation and drawing on my iPad, and she spends a lot of time doing that, which makes me really happy, of course.
Arley and I have been going cane toad spotting in the evenings. The season for them is just starting, and Arley loves to get a flashlight and go hunting for them. Anything to do with animals gets him interested. Plants as well. The cane toads are pretty ugly, but he loves them. He has different names for the different sizes, like toadlet and toadnager. He is going to do a homeschool project on them, and he is actually excited about it.
I don't have much else to add, which I think is a good thing!
