A Stroller Ride in the Snow

We had a lazy morning and all slept in til 7:30 a.m. this morning. It felt great. When we looked out the window the outdoors was covered with a light blanket of snow. The sun shone brightly this afternoon and the temps were in the 30's, so I bundled Gracie up for a stroller ride in the snow. Once again, all was right with the world. She was quite fussy before we left, but the moment she felt the cool outdoor air hit her face her smile appeared and didn't leave her face until we were back indoors again.

She had quite a few spasms this morning, very few this afternoon, and this evening we are seeing a few more. Gracie had a pretty happy afternoon, took a 20 minute nap and another 6 minute nap. She stills gets tired easily, the steroids hype her up so she can't sleep much during the day, so she just takes little rests on mommy or daddy's shoulder.

We are seeing Gracie's attitude come out more and more, as she has started to scream at the top of her lungs if something isn't quite right. This is a new one for us, she's always been a very independent girl with her own opinions, but the tantrums were far and few between. With all she has been going through, I really can't blame her, I would want to scream too.

Gracie continues to have quite the appetite. She is getting picky on what she wants when though. This afternoon I offered her a graham cracker, she kept making her "I'm hungry" sound, but refused the cracker. There were pureed peaches close by and I finally figured out that was what she wanted. She also refused her blueberry waffle this morning, but a cinnamon roll hit the spot.

We're hoping for another nice day tomorrow.
