Sent home early

Today Madeline got off to a good start, but a scatological explosion got her sent home early.  At home, she never showed any symptoms, thank goodness.  Instead, we read books ...

Madeline seems to be working hard on language these days.  She chatters and chatters and looks at us expectantly -- perhaps she hopes we can understand what she's saying?  And she's getting good at imitating sounds.  This afternoon we watched cars go by out the window; I'd say, "vroom!" and she'd say, "voom!"

Voom!
