1. Every night before bed we read Madelyn and Evan a bedtime story (or two, or three...) and lately Madelyn has been getting very involved with the stories. She asks questions about the pictures and the characters and why they are acting a certain way or doing what they are. A recent popular choice for story has been the Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree. In this story 3 little bears go into a spooky old tree and end up waking up a Great Sleeping Bear who gets angry and chases them out. Madelyn has been very concerned about the angry bear and why he was so upset. A few days ago when I asked her why she thought he was upset she decided that he was probably hungry. So tonight, when we were reading the story and we came to the part with the Great Sleeping Bear, Madelyn said "He needs some crackers...some fruit snacks and some crackers...then he would feel better." I had to smile :)
2. We had our follow up appointment today with the orthopedic specialist at Gillette Children's. They
took off the cast and re x-rayed Madelyn's arm. It is looking good and is healing well. They put on a new cast and she has an appointment in 2 weeks where it will hopefully come off. This time, since it was a full plaster cast now that the swelling has gone down, she got to choose her color. When she found that out she was much more willing to have them put a new cast on. She walked right into the casting room saying "I want a pink one!" We tried to get a couple of pictures tonight of her with the cast, so here are the best ones we were able to get.

I totally read the title as "Storytime and a new CAT" I was very surprised- a new baby, a 2 year old with a broken arm and they got a cat! Haha I do love her pink cast!
