Morgan's surgery

A couple weeks after Morgan was diagnosed with a minor knee injury, he tore his knee ligament (CCL) when attempting to chase deer at my parent's house.  It was icy and I think he may have slipped on some ice.  End result was TPLO surgery to repair the torn ligament.  He had surgery late yesterday and came home this morning.

Charlotte missed him a lot!

It was a stressful time emotionally and financially, but thanks to my wonderful mom we got some terrific and very surprising news yesterday.  My mom took the initiative and called her homeowner's insurance company to see if a dog slipping on ice in her driveway is something they cover.  Well they submitted the claim and much to my surprise it is covered and they are going to fully reimburse us for Morgan's medical bills.  I couldn't believe they would cover something like that, especially for a pet!

Morgan is recovering very well and should be running and playing in no time, well in 8-10 weeks! 

Busy Bags

I got together with some other mom friends yesterday for a busy bag swap party.  It's all over the internet, but basically each participant prepares one educational activity or "busy bag" to provide for each of the other participants.  I came home with 11 different activities for Charlotte and she had lots of fun with them this morning.

Stringing beads on a pipe cleaner

Number caterpillar - Stringing numbers 0-10

Practicing writing

She definitely needs more practice, but she shows great concentration in this picture

Heads and Tails game - matching different animals

Mini reversible felt board.  On this side she is making a face and on the other side there are pieces to make a house.

Popsicle color matching

Categorizing shapes.  It also came with fruits and vegetables. 

These are just some we did this morning.  She didn't want to do the one I made, but it came from this website.  http://planetoftheapels.blogspot.com/2011/09/busy-bag-swap-day-13-color-counting.html
