Sunday - Deep Belly Laughs

Gracie had a good night and woke up in a good mood. She was very cooperative in taking her meds right down. It didn't hurt that she got to have Toaster Streudel for breakfast, one of her most favorite things. We ate quickly, got her dressed, and all headed to Jeff's church for the early service. Gracie did so good with the exception of during the sermon. Jeff took her out for most of that. She just loves the music and she did a lot of dancing. After service she took many sweet people for walks. They are so good to her!

From church we headed home, had some lunch, and then headed outside to enjoy the beautiful day. We took a nice walk outside and we all were enjoying the 50 degree day. Some disrespectful dog took a major poop on the sidewalk just in front of our house. Gracie now knows the word "poop" and knows exactly what it is.

Then it was nap time and Gracie took an hour and a half nap. After a quick snack, we headed out to the shoe store where we got Gracie some sandals for summer and some cute little white dress shoes for Easter and other dressy occasions. Then we headed to Target for a quick errand. On the way there, Jeff was sitting in the backseat with Gracie while I drove. He was reading her a book and using all these very exaggerated voices. She was laughing so hard, it was these very deep belly laughs. Just listening to her made me laugh too.

Since Gracie's med increase, she once again seems like she is more aware and her cognitive skills are sharpened. I had given her something and Jeff told her to say thank you to mommy. Gracie signed "thank you", then following said "momma". It was so sweet.

Gracie had such a good weekend and it was so much fun to play and hang out with her. She loved having mommy and daddy's undivided attention. We were only to happy to give it.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
