Maeghan has started dancing with her dolls. She is practicing for her show. She is going to be in a show for her ballet class in December. As long as Juanita is not having the baby at the same time, she is going to be in the show they do at the end of the class. The teacher is making all the kids costumes and they are practicing the dance they are going to do. So far, Maeghan is the only one who can do it as the other kids just run around in the class. She can only do what the teacher is telling them to do, I don't think she could put it all together and do it on her own.

She dances each part at home. They spin around, and jump up and down, and then wave their arms and she was doing it with her doll last night. There are a lot of other things the teacher wants them to do, but she doesn't practice those. They are suppossed to sit on the floor and bend over and then pretend they are waking up and come to a standing position. Maeghan can't do that, she lays on the floor and then has to turn around and stand up but that is more than the other kids do.

Last week, she was the only one who could do the curtsy the teacher wants them to do at the end. She can do that at home if you ask her to. She has to cross her legs and then bow and raise her arms. She can do it without holding on to anything although, in the class, they do it when holding on to the back of a chair.

Last night, we had sausages for dinner. She ate some of hers and then came in to me where I was working on the computer. She told me she did not want any more sausages and I asked her what she wanted. She said she didn't know and said she would have to ask mommy. She told me to hold her fork and then went to ask mommy what she wanted for dinner. She never came back after that but later, she saw me eating sausages in hot curry sauce and she said she wanted some. She then ate some of my sausage with the hot curry sauce and liked it. So I am doing a good job on getting her to eat hot stuff.

I have been working for about 24 hours straight now. I am back at the office and am still on the phone to America. I have had three upgrades in the past two days. I don't have to do a lot but I have to be available whenever they need me. At home, I had two phones going, bith on speaker phone. Here at the office, I can't have the speaker phone on, so I have to hold it to my ear all the time. Doing that for eight hours gets tiring. Hopefully, I will take a few days off this week or next. I think this might be the last upgrade until November but I am sure they will come up with another one before then.

My boss is back from England today, so I have to do a turnover to him sometime. Otherwise, I would have continued to work from home. I was in charge while he was gone and there is a lot of stuff I need to tell him. Maybe, I will get to go home early but I am sure he won't be available until later, so I will have to stay late.

In the meantime, I need more coffee, so I will talk again later.

This picture is from our trip to Tasmania last year. Maeghan has just picked up a handful of little leaves and thrown them in the air. She is laughing in the picture although it looks like she is crying.
