Sunday, Fun Day!

Gracie had a pretty good night, but unfortunately we're still seeing seizure-like activity in her sleep. She was quite the snuggly little bug this morning in her sleep.

Gracie and I went to daddy's church today and watched daddy lead worship. I was a little nervous that Gracie would see Jeff on stage and want to go up there too. She did really good, especially during the music. She did try to escape a couple of times during the message. We finished out service at the back of the church when Gracie decided she had been good for long enough. She got a chocolate chip cookie after church and did an awesome job eating it. We've been working on her to take bites rather than stick the whole thing in her mouth and she did a great job.

After church, Gracie and I came home, ate lunch and then she took a nap. When she awoke daddy was home, so we all went for a field trip to the park. This park has a baby swing, so we put Gracie in that and she was in her glory. She would have stayed in that swing all day had we let her. Another couple with three kids came up to play. All of a sudden the mom said, "Oh, it's Gracie. Hi. How are you doing? She's gotten so big." Jeff and I were a bit speechless trying to figure out who this person was. I think she sensed this and reintroduced herself. She is a pediatric physician. Gracie has seen her ONCE, at least 3 or more months ago. What an incredible memory.

We also went down the slide a couple of times and when it was time to get back in the stroller, Gracie had a tantrum and threw herself to the ground while screaming. We needed to get her out of the sun though. Even though we had sunscreen on her, her Topamax makes her very sensitive to the sun. Her cheekies were a little flushed tonight. We did take her hat along, but she wasn't great about keeping it on. We need a new bigger bucket hat for her.

After playing outside Gracie took another nap for about 45 minutes then Grandma & Grandpa D (Jeff's parents) came over and brought us supper. Gracie warmed up to Grandma quite quickly and they played and rocked and sang.

Gracie also voluntarily did purposeful release a couple of times today. YAY!!!!

It was a fun day. Gracie is now sleeping, but was very restless in trying to fall asleep.

I hope you all had a good weekend.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
