Sunday - The Perfect Child

Gracie was the perfect child today. It was just Gracie and I today as daddy had to work all day. She awoke at 7:30 a.m. and was in a great mood all day. She took her morning and evening meds with no problems at all. She was happy, easily entertained and even did some playing on her own. I knew it would be a mistake to take her to church on my own for Palm Sunday, so we watched mass on TV. She sat on my lap quietly snuggling for the whole service.

Gracie took an almost 2 hour nap today and when she awoke we headed outside for a walk. The sun was beautiful, but the wind was quite cold. We were both glad we had our winter coats on. We even put Gracie's hood up over her headband, because she could feel the wind and it was making her cold. When we came in, I just let her play in our entry way. This is a huge treat for her. She loves to use my keys and pretend to lock and unlock the doors. She loves playing with the door handles.

Gracie was happy to see daddy when he made it home just in time for supper. Although she was so happy to see him, that she quickly ate her food and was ready to play and she wanted daddy to be done eating too. It was play time.

Gracie was absolutely hilarious tonight. She was chasing Jeff and I around the house and if we would stop, she would push us on the backside to indicate we needed to run away from her more. She was giggling and just having a great time. She was running so fast and hard that she was breathing so heavy. We then played a few lullabys to calm her down before bedtime, but to no avail. She was so wound up, it took me an hour to get her to fall asleep. She was just a little comedian in bed, chatting away.

Now she sleeps peacefully at the end of this fun weekend.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
