Sick Sunday

Gracie had a restless night and I discovered my answer to whether she had allergies or was getting a cold -- she came down with a nasty cold. This poor child has more nasal drainage than one child should be allowed. She's got a nasty cough to go along with it.

We had planned on going to a graduation today, but instead stayed home and didn't even go to church. Despite the nasty head cold, Gracie was in a pretty good mood through the morning and early afternoon. We read a lot of books, played with her toys, did a little work on her balance ball, did some snuggling, and just hung out. Gracie looked so pale all day and her eyes glassy, but thankfully has not run a fever. I think this is just a good old fashioned cold.

We did find out this weekend that Gracie enjoys the fruits of summer - these are the ones we tried and all were a hit: strawberries, blueberries, and nectarines. She always has been my fruit girl.

Late afternoon was a bit rougher for Gracie, she was tired and just not feeling great. She did perk up a little in the tub. We let her watch a soothing music dvd this evening and that seemed to relax her. She's now in bed, but with the nasal drainage I'm pretty sure we'll have a restless night.

Have a good week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
