Monday - PT/OT/ECSE

Gracie had a good night and daddy had to sing her awake this morning. Singing to her to wake her up works like a charm and is guaranteed to put her in a good mood.

Jeff dropped her off at daycare and she was in a great mood. I picked her up at 3:30 p.m. and we headed home. Gracie's physical therapist, early education teacher, and occupational therapist (new to us through the Birth to Three program) came to work with Gracie at 4:00 p.m. Gracie signed "ball" and when read a story about "up", would put her hands up. Gracie's PT confirmed that Gracie needs new orthotics for her feet, she has outgrown hers. She has only had them three months. Most kids never outgrow them. But then our Gracie is on a growth scale all her own. Gracie's occupational therapist gave us some things to work on to teach Gracie to blow. The thought is that if we teach her to have more control of her mouth, she will also have more control over her drooling.


We had taco's for supper. I thought Gracie might enjoy them, but I was wrong. The meat was too spicy for her and she promptly decided that was not her thing. What was I thinking?

After supper we went for a walk and Gracie sang pretty much the whole time. She was in a great mood. After supper it was bath time and she enjoyed splashing and screaming.

She was one tired girl and quickly fell asleep. She was very much daddy's girl today.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
