Monday - A Happy Girl

Gracie slept in til about 5:45 a.m. this morning. She had a bit of a restless night at times, but all in all had a good night. She awoke while I was in the shower and Jeff was in the bedroom ironing his clothes. Usually she crawls in to find daddy when she awakes, but today she crawled into the living room and just layed on the floor waiting to be found.

Gracie had a good day at daycare and daddy picked her up while I ran to the grocery store. When I arrived home Gracie was just starting to eat her supper. She had a good meal, but wanted some mommy snuggling time, so was quick to be done. After dinner, she was very cranky. She just couldn't be consoled...that is until I suggested we put Gymbo on TV. Gymbo is a videotape with animated characters and real kids going to the zoo. It's got lots of bright colors and great music. It was made at least 20 years ago and a copy can't be found anymore...this tape is priceless as it is Gracie's ultimate favorite. She layed on the floor for awhile watching it and Jeff was sure she would fall asleep, but she got her second wind and got up to dance to some of the music. After eating a quick supper, I joined her in front of the TV to sing and dance. Daddy joined us too.

After Gymbo we read some books, but Gracie was not very content, she was just too tired. However, she did get up off my lap, stand up, took my hand and lead me to the CD player...she wanted Brad Paisley music. We danced to a few songs and she was all smiles...even though they were sleepy smiles. She fell asleep a little before 7:30 p.m. and is tucked in snoozing away. Her tummy seems to be happy again too. Yay!

Today was a good start to the week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
