Sunday - Happy Happy Girl

Gracie had a good night and awoke in a good mood and that was the theme for most of the day. The exception is when we went to church. Since Jeff was leading worship at his church, Gracie and I were solo at my church. The trouble started when she decided she wanted to go visit the band. She was very insistent that I let her do this and I was very insistent that she stay in the pew with mom. This lead to verbal expressions of her frustration, as well as bodily force. After a few seconds we pretty much had the full congregation's attention, so I figured we should go out to the narthax and finish out mass from there.

Gracie took a nap when we got home and was in the best of moods when she woke up and ate lunch. She repeatedly said "daddy", she pointed to the kitten in the book and said "MeeeeeeOW", she did some beautiful purposeful release, she pulled pop beads apart, she sang, she laughed, she signed "more", and she meandered around the house and would periodically break into a dance.

After Jeff got home, all three of us went to Target. Jeff and Gracie wheeled around the store like maniac's in Gracie's wheelchair while I shopped. Gracie thought this was hysterical and everytime they would hit the aisle that I was in, she would very plainly say "Hi".

Tonight we went out to eat with Grandma and Grandpa D. Gracie was a good little eater, especially when it came to things covered in ketchup. French fries seemed to be the favorite. We ate outdoors, so after we were done, she tooled around and played and danced. Gracie had a late nap, so when we got home, she wasn't ready for bed. She was hilarious and playful. So we held off bedtime. I have a feeling morning will come way too early.

Have a good week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
