I've got Maia's birthday party mostly under control, but I did have to scale back a little. I'm fine with it. We're still going to make fairy clothespin dolls, and they are coming along nicely. Here's a preview:
More bad news from work. Ugh. Less work will be coming my way due to v-e-r-y slow economy. I guess it's the risk you take being a casual part time employee.
Maia's treatment starts Monday. She'll get IV steroids for two hours, 3 days in a row. I really don't know what to expect. She's already resisting physical therapy a bit - it's just not fun. Sitting with an IV stuck in your arm, three days in a row - not fun either. But I'm working on a doctor/appointment bag that will contain special fun things she can do while at our not-so-fun appointments.

The fairy dolls are very sweet and I think the scavanger hunt (from your last post) sounds like a lot of fun. My son is 4 and he loves to go on scavenger hunts at the park. We usually hunt for things like a stick shaped like a Y, a mossy rock, acorns, pine cones, etc. It's great fun, and I tell myself that he's learning to follow directions.
A question about the fairy dolls: how are the arms attached? Have you drilled a hole through the pin?
Best wishes to your and your daughter as she starts treatments this week.
Yes, we used a drill press to drill 1/8" hole just below the "shoulder". The scavenger hunt and fairy making went off well, they had a lot of fun (with mom's help with the fairies).
Thanks for your message!
