Thursday/Friday

Gracie is on the mend. Each day she feels a little bit better and she is certainly sleeping so much better at night. She has been waking up with smiles again. We haven't seen that in a while.

Yesterday when I picked Gracie up at daycare I was thrilled to hear that she and her daycare buddies (both are 2 yrs old) had a great day of interaction and Gracie was right in the middle of it all. The three of them initiated on their own and played ring around the rosie, they played chase and just running, they talked and talked and talked to each other. This is one of the main areas we have been working on with Gracie - peer interaction.

Also on Wednesday night -- a school day -- I asked Gracie if she had fun at school and usually I'll get a smile or a "no" -- her favorite word. When I asked her this time, she had a big smile and said "I did"!

The biggest news of the week....Gracie went POOP in the toilet!!!! Just before bath last night I sat her on the stool and she did her business. We were so proud of her, we cheered and she clapped and giggled. We let her flush the toilet and wave goodbye to her "poopie". We shared the news at daycare this morning and she got all excited again.

Gracie was in a great mood this morning -- I think it has to do with a goodnight's sleep and starting to feel better. Her cough is now minimal, she still is a bit stuffed up, yet has a runny nose. Her chin is very chapped as she has been a major drool monster since she has been breathing mainly out of her mouth. We've been putting Aquaphor on it and that helps immensely.

Have a great weekend.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
