Happy Monday

Gracie had quite the restless night and continually cried out in her sleep. She has a cold and her nose is plugged so she had a hard time breathing, I think that made her sleep less than restful. She awoke at 5:00 a.m. She was in a good mood, but a little more needy for attention.

Gracie mellowed out on the way to daycare and jabbered quite a bit. She gave me the cold shoulder when I left her. She had a good day at daycare and I picked her up at 3:30 p.m. as she had physical therapy at our house today and her early education teacher joined in on this appointment too. Gracie was in a fantastic mood. She was ready to have some fun. Her physical therapist worked on side to side sitting to strengthen her hips and also teaching her to walk backward, so that when she starts to lose her balance she knows how to step back and catch herself. By the end of the session, Gracie was already starting to take backward steps to keep herself from falling.

Gracie was in a great mood all night long. At supper I gave her a full container of berry applesauce and let her eat it however she wanted to. This was great fun. She loves when she gets to do this. She was applesauce from head to toe...but she had fun.

Gracie fell asleep in my arms drinking her night bottle and now she is snuggled in for the night. I hope she has a restful sleep.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
