Good weekend

We had a good weekend.   Tatiana is still in the doghouse.    She was invited to a birthday party on Saturday.   The invite came a few hours after she lied.   We agonized over whether or not to let her go.   We wouldn't have even considered it if it weren't Samuel's party and he is a sweet boy.  We decided to let her go because it would be unfair for Samuel to be hurt. 

Saturday morning was her soccer game.   It didn't rain, but it was very mudy.   Tatiana tried hard and kept her head in the game.   She had some hurt, like a ball hit her, but she kept playing.   We told her how good that was. 

Saturday afternoon I mainly combed her hair.   She had a huge knot from when we got behind on the combing, so I've been working on that.  She did amazing on the Building Thinking Skills program.   They did analogies and she got the idea right away.   The program is listed as 4th-6th grade logic.  Scotland sometimes comes by when she is doing that and watches.  He is impressed too.   We haven't told her it is advanced.  I think partly it being software helps.   If she had to write, her hand would get tired writing in all the answers she is able to give on the computer during one combing session. 

Sunday we went to church.   She doesn't think Sunday school is fun anymore.   They have donuts in the fellowship hall after church.  I used to get one for her while Scotland got her out of class.  Then a couple of weeks ago she got demanding about it when they had fun out before I got to the box.   So, I told her they were a treat, and obviously she'd had too many if she didn't realize they were a treat.   So, I wouldn't get any for her for a bit.   By the time they get down from Sunday School, the donuts are all gone.  She didn't ask for one Sunday. 

They were going to leave at 1 pm, so she changed clothes.  Then we cleaned each other's earring area.   She watched how I did hers, and did the same to me.  She was so careful and concentrated hard.  It was adorable.   I worked on combing her hair, and I got it close enough to completely combed that she could wear her hair down. 

Scotland and Tatiana and Ty went a soccer thing in Frisco.   There was a Dallas game, then a Legends game, then some autographs.  They didn't get home until about 10 pm.  Scotland was totally glowing.   He said everyone had fun.  Scotland had found the soccer book that he used to convince his father to let him play soccer.   The book convinced his dad that soccer wasn't 'that commie game.'   I wish I'd met his dad.  Scotland had the legends players do the autographs in the book.    He said it is now Tatiana's book since it says "To Tatiana ..." all over it.  It was her that asked for the autographs.  They were apparently quite charmed by her.
