Wednesday - Dad watch: Mission accomplished

Hello all. This is the last day of Dad on Patrol, as Lisa is now off the rest of the week too.

Today was a pretty good day. We started out by taking mommy to work (car in the shop - all done now, no charge, thanks very much). When we got home, had our breakfast and meds, and then played for a while.

Grace got tired about 10:00 and we paused for a moment to see if she would take a nap. When I woke up, it was 11:30. I guess we were both a little sleepy :-)

We had two accomplishments today. The first is that Gracie "voiced" her displeasure about a certain item, while requesting what she actually wanted. We were watching a sign language video - she shook her head "no" and then signed "more" - which has come to also mean, "I would like something different, please" in her vocabulary. So I swapped DVDs and again she signed "more" and then made the sign for the title of a song that is on another video that she DID want to watch. That was pretty neat!

Our other accomplishment came this evening when she had a cookie and said, "nummy cookie." We are thrilled to have her piecing words together, so this got a smile and a "hooray" from both mom and dad.

Other than that, a fairly normal day. These 3 days sure have gone fast - much faster than I thought they would. It was alot of fun hanging out with my Gracie and playing together.

She is now sleeping soundly. We will be doing the same soon.

Have a good night everyone.

Happy New Year - and be safe!

Love,
Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
