Wednesday November 6

Wednesdays are always so busy, in a good way though.  

We had a nice breakfast again as on the days we are out I know they need to eat week in the morning. We then snuggled up on the couch and read chapters 5&6 in the lion the witch and the wardrobe.  We answered the questions and discussed the chapters.  Nathan and Genevieve are loving this time reading this book together.   

Nathan just wanted to stay home today and do schoolwork, but we had to go to physio.  Nathan stayed up late last night to finish a book.  I gave him some Tylenol before we left the house which helped.  I felt bad for forcing him to keep going but I know he needs to do it.  It is amazing how much our bodies can hurt on a poor nights sleep.  

Genevieve has started some music lessons while Nathan is at physio, his physiotherapists daughter is a music therapist and piano teacher.  Genevieve has been great the last six months, but I don't think it's fair for her to have to sit for an hour twice a week and wait for Nathan's therapies.  She had a fantastic time today!  She sang, she played some piano, and she had fun plaing on the piano making up songs with her teacher playing duets Gigi was making up.  Genevieve was thrilled with her day!  It was much more fun than watching Nathan.  

After physio we came home for a quick lunch and I convinced Nathan to go to hockey.  I bought a book written by an eds expert for physiotherapists, in this book it talked about the ups and downs of the edser.  I think it's important to stay balanced, if we had done nothing today either Thursday it Friday he would be well enough to overextend himself then feel terrible the next day.  So we still completed most scheduled activities today, but the kids were resting in their beds by 5:30 and just asleep now at 8.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a back to normal day.  The book talked about the importance of balancing and avoiding the ups and downs, I have seen this in myself many times I feel great and decide to power wash the entire deck, I then can't get out of bed for 3 days. 

So I decided to skip tayoisi choir today and instead have an early dinner early bed.  Oh we practiced piano at our lunch break too.  Nathan is able to practice so much better directly after physio.  

Here's a picture of Genevieve skating with grandpa today.  He looks a little wobbly in this picture but he was being goofy.  Gigi sure enjoyed having her grandpa come out and skate with her.
