Gracie had a great night. Not sure if it is because she slept with her feet in my stomach all night, or if it was because she was really really tired. She awoke while I was in the shower, when I came out to greet her she did not have a smile to share. So I scooped her up, took her back to bed, and snuggled with her for a little bit. She needs that morning snuggle to put her in a good mood.
When I dropped Gracie off at daycare she was in a great mood, running back and forth and just being goofy. Jeff picked Gracie up at daycare in the middle of snack time, so they grabbed her snack and headed back to the clinic for PT. Gracie had a great PT session. For my regular readers, you may remember a couple of weeks back I mentioned how Gracie is growing and her legs were getting tighter and she was losing her balance. Well this last week that has really seemed to improve. Gracie's PT, Leslie, commented on how great and loose her muscles and joints were -- all those stretching exercises we are doing with her are paying off. Gracie had two huge successes today. They got her to go up on her tippy toes without holding onto anything and when running while holding onto Jay, the intern PT, her feet left the ground for a mili-second. Gracie is getting so much stronger. Before her appointment the clinical assistants who treat her like a princess, gave her a beautiful white teddy bear, and after her PT appointment she got a Tinkerbell Sticker AND a bag of M&M's for Halloween. I am so thrilled to see her get stronger and stronger everyday.
By the time we got home she was one tired girl. I think she was just exhausted from her workout. So we made it a pretty low key night. We did get our first trick-or-treater....our friend Laurie brought her son Logan over as he was trick-or-treating at a local nursing home. Gracie wasn't too sure what to think of him at first, but started to warm up to him. Then Logan, who is 5, read her a book...from there on out he was her new friend. He was so good and gentle with her.
She was one tired girl when I put her down to sleep and now this tired mommy is going to go kiss her forehead and go to sleep.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
