Tonight's piano recital

Madilyn had her second piano recital tonight. It's so great to see the kids perform their songs they all have been working on. It gives them an opportunity to show off how much they've progressed and to feel pride in their accomplishments. Madilyn is such a smart girl and I love the fact that even though she has a severe hearing impairment, she excels in so many things and she doesn't let it hold her back in any way. I'm such a proud mom.
Madilyn doesn't think a night is special unless she gets to go out to celebrate. Taking Ethan to a nicer restaurant is too risky so we went more casual and went to Fazoli's. We just ordered way too much food.

Ethan had a breadstick with his ranch dressing. I'm totally serious about this. He took this ranch packet and worked really hard at sucking the dressing totally out of it. Not so appealing if you ask me.

It took us awhile to figure out that what Drew was pointing at on the menu board was their yummy breadsticks. We ordered him a kids pizza meal because past experience has told us if we don't order him anything, we'll regret it later. He actually did know what he wanted, just breadsticks.
