Thursday

Gracie had a good night and slept through til I awoke her at 6:00 a.m. She was a happy girl for the most part, especially when she got to go downstairs. She is obsessed with the baby swing. She likes to stack as much stuff on it as she possibly can while it swings back and forth with the music playing. She stacks it so high and then stuff comes crashing down and then she starts all over again. To watch her makes you wonder if she has some obsessive compulsive disorder. Since she has never liked to stack blocks, I feel like she is getting some sort of beneficial skill from this.

Gracie took her musical fish sensory toy in the car to daycare this morning and that kept her occupied for the whole ride there. She had a good day at daycare and Jeff picked her up this evening. When I got home she came running to the gate and before I could even open it was getting hug after hug after hug. Then came kisses. I am one lucky mommy.

Gracie was not into her ice cream or much of anything tonight until Jeff reheated some soup we had made earlier in the week. She couldn't get enough of that. I thought she might have a sore throat, but she let me look in her throat and it looked good. Jeff on the other hand has a throat that doesn't look so good.

Tonight she had moments of great happiness and of great unhappiness. She had a really hard time falling asleep, but is finally in la-la land.

Since I don't have much to say today...thought you might enjoy some pictures from the summer.

Playing in the sand can make a girl very thirsty. Do you think mom will notice if I take a sip of her Diet Coke???

One of Gracie's most favorite things to do...take mom and dad for a walk. Do you think she is pretending we are puppies??? Hmmm.

Love,

Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
