Faubourg 2013: Day 6: Saturday

Faubourg Day 6: Short day of dance, long day of commuting! Fayeth 1 hour, Hannah 2.5 hours Gabe and Lindsay 3.5 hours. Faye Faye got called a Ballet Dictionary which made her day. The teacher was asking what different things meant and Faye Faye answered all the questions (and answered them correctly). She was thrilled! She is very excited to tell Mrs T and Ms. Wendywhen she sees them next!  Hannah was complimented on her long legs and long arms. She beamed, Lindsay and Gabe had a short but very productive day. They learned 3 new variations today (in an hour)! CRAZY! By the end of the day (Jazz Class) I noticed that Lindsay was "off". I made her push fluids and fed her Zofran for the nausea. Pain meds had already gone on board. When we got home we chose to reprogram her shunt. She started feeling better within the hour. Not completely sure if it was due to dehydration, her shunt being not set properly or the crazy weather. We have pushed fluids and she is drinking a ton, but they are working so hard that I know she is expended a lot of fluid. The other day I purchased ice wraps. Best. Thing. EVER! They still have sore feet. This afternoon when we got home from dance and grocery shopping I looked in the living room and I had kids doing barre work, stretching then Pilates. Keeping these muscles loose and flexible. Tomorrow we are off from Faubourg (class wise). We will head back to Chicago at some point to check back into the hotel. What an absolutely awesome week the kids have had. Lots of new friends, Lots of new experiences, and Lot of hard work. They are my heroes! Today's picture is what my car looked like on the way home from dance. The 2 hour commute this morning took its toll on the kids.
