Gracie awoke bright and early at 6:00 a.m. YAWN! We snuggled for a little longer than usual -- after all it is Saturday, and then got out of bed about 7:00 a.m. After breakfast we took a quick bath then headed to the clinic for Gracie's second H1N1 vaccination. Gracie's first dose had been the FluMist, but we were told earlier that this would have to be an injection as the clinic would not be receiving any more mist. I'm happy to say they did have the mist and we were able to go that route. The preservative in the injection made me a little nervous for Gracie's well-being. I wouldn't hesitate to go with the injection for a child without any health issues, but it does make me nervous with Gracie's special issues.
We met up with aunt Sheila and cousin Jason at the clinic and took Jason home with us. Gracie was thrilled to have a playmate for the day and Jason is always so good to her. She was a bit demanding and willful at times today, especially when she would take Jason's hand and want him to walk with her, over and over and over again.
Gracie is continually demonstrating her independence. Today I gave Jason a muffin and also gave Gracie one that was cut up. She refused the plate and fussed. She wanted a whole one just like Jason. She will no longer drink out of a sippy cup at the supper table. It has to be the same type of glass that we are drinking out of. She does quite well with this.
It was a nice day and I bundled Gracie up and Jason and I took her for a nice long walk. I think she really enjoyed the fresh air on her cheeks. Later in the afternoon aunt Sheila and cousin Kayla came over and they brought us some snacks and then had supper with us. Gracie was very upset when they had to leave. She was also a tired girl as she didn't take a very long nap. She was asleep by 7:15 p.m. tonight. I hope that doesn't mean she'll be getting up too early in the morning.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
