Madi misses school....

Last night Madi went to bed with a bit of a soar throat.  We were hopeful that it would subside by morning...but as luck would have it, Madi woke up this morning really not feeling well.  She was coughing, crying and complaining her throat hurt, but was insistent about going to school, dance and gym tonight.  It was obvious that Madi did not feel well, I think I would safe to say she felt absolutely awful.  I finally convinced her she should stay home and rest today.  The only way she would agree to stay home is if I would go to her school and talk to her teacher.  Madi wanted a new reading book and all her assignments for the day; she was anxious to turn her reading calendar in so she could get a reward, so I agreed.  Madi's teacher was able to give me all of her homework and a new reading book.  I'm so grateful that Madi loves learning.
