Waiting on Wander

Wander is taking a two week break from work. On Monday he had surgery on his foot to remove a spot of skin cancer. The girls are getting good at waiting around in Doctor's offices. We'd been waiting for only a few minutes when the girls started walking the room, counting, one, two, three, four, five, six, etc. They remembered when I had them count how many steps it took to cross the room in the other doctor's office. Only, they didn't it know it was just to pass the time. They thought it was fun.


I also got to test out my new portable colored pencil caddy. The girls really enjoy drawing. Sparkle spent a long time getting her drawing of the sitting just so. Glitter scribbled as usual.

Then Sparkle was delighted to find two Van Gogh paintings in the waiting room. She recognized them as Van Gogh's based on the picture study we did last week.


Then it was time to take Wander home. He's been hopped up on pain meds that don't work. He's also roaming the house on a pair of crutches. He thinks it's funny that his crutches are taller than I am. Luckily the doctor got all of the cancerous cells out, so he doesn't have to go under the knife again. He's recovering well and even was able to read the girls their bedtime books tonight.
