The day started off pretty well. Grace decided to sleep in on her birthday, and slept until 7:15 this morning. Mommy barely got to see her girl before heading off to work.
Gracie ate a real good breakfast and had a special treat of Toaster Strudel today. We used it to help disguise her meds (the old "Spoon Full of Sugar" concept). Don't tell her of our dastardly plot.Despite having only 30 minutes of nap today, it was a pretty good day - with spurts of inconsolability (I don't know if that's a real word or not - if you've cared for a child, you know what I mean though!).
We had fun playing Chase again. We also went to one of dad's friend's house to see the model railroad that he'd been working on. It was good to get out of the house for a while. Can't wait for the weekend when it is supposed to be WARM!
We did have a few issues today. Since we started reducing our meds, Grace's appetite has been reduced greatly. Well, today was not the case. She ate like she hadn't been fed in a week. This may have been the source of much of her crankiness -as it is possible that I did not recognize her ravenous appetite as soon as I should have. She was quite restless today too. She wanted up on my shoulder, but as soon as she got there she wanted down. Once down, she wanted back up. The restlessness coupled with hunger agitation was not a good combo for her. Come to think of it, it wasn't good for my back either (pass the Bengay please).
Bath time was great fun for all. Grace splashed like a mad-girl. Mom and dad got wet, but laughed anyway - just to see her in a great mood was fantastic.
Have a good and safe weekend, everyone. I am relieved of my typing duties for the weekend, and you will be treated to the "Ramblings of Mommy." I will be back Monday night.
Until Monday - thank you again for all of your support.
Go Steelers!!!
Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
