Gracie had an okay night as long as she was sleeping with her head on my shoulder. I think her allergies are acting up a bit and an elevated head helps with the breathing. She awoke at 6:20 a.m. in a great mood. She got to see daddy for about 10 minutes before he headed to work for the day.
Gracie's new favorite place to be is standing at the bow window in the living room watching the birds and the neighborhood happenings. This morning she was standing there and I heard her get excited and say "bunny". I went to check it out and sure enough there was a bunny hopping across our lawn. I was so proud and when I confirmed that it was indeed a bunny and praised her for saying it, she beamed.
Gracie and I had our Saturday morning cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Once again she found it hilarious to "steal" some from mommy's plate. After breakfast we got dressed and headed to the soccer fields to watch cousin Jason play. Jason and his buddies were so good to her. She loved playing with them and was sad when they had to take their places on the field. She snuggled with Auntie Sheila for awhile. Another soccer mom, Lori, showed up. Turns out we know Lori as the social worker we have worked with through the early intervention program for Grace. Gracie took Lori for many walks. The kindness of everyone to Gracie was so heartwarming. At the end of the game, the player that was handing out treats sought Gracie and I out to ask if she could have a treat too. WOW! Gracie was thrilled with her treat!
On the way home, I also gave her a graham cracker as it was her lunch time. She was so tired she sat in her car seat holding her cracker with a few bites out of it, just staring ahead in a tired stupor (no not an absence seizure, I made sure). She livened up a bit when we got home and ate some lunch.
Gracie took a very short nap, but awoke in a great mood. We headed to the cell phone store and then to Target after naptime. Gracie was so good for both. Then we played outside for the rest of the afternoon. Our neighbor to the back and east has a couple of dogs that Gracie just loves to watch. So she spent a fair amount of time glued to the fence watching them.
Daddy came home in time for supper, although she was happy to see him, she was a total mommy's girl tonight. She had a great time yelling at daddy out the window as he was putting weed killer on the dandelions in the front yard.
She was one tired girl tonight and fell right to sleep.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
