Thursday/Friday: A Fun Day = A Happy Girl

Gracie had a great day yesterday. She got to go to the library for story hour where she learned about bears and also about weather. She got to do hand motions with the wind. Sometimes it would go faster and sometimes it would go slower. She also had to be reminded to use her listening ears and not interupt by saying "HI" loudly. I understand it only took a reminder or two and then she did fine.

Gracie also got to go to the mall for lunch and to play in the kid play area. She was so tired from all the fun that she took a 2 hour nap. In the afternoon she played and they read alot of books too. A favorite was about a drum and then she would get to drum on her legs. When I came to pick her up she was in a great mood and chatted on the way home. She was happy to see that daddy was home when we got there and she wrestled around with him for a while. We ordered pizza for supper and she ate and ate and ate.

Gracie was in a good mood all night long and went to bed a little later than usual. She slept good and was quite restful most of the night. She really didn't want to wake up this morning, but finally her eyes popped open.

Gracie is such a funny kid. Last week all I needed to get her to take her seizure meds was a little bit of chocolate cake with them. Not so this week. Cake, her favorite thing (right after chicken) in the whole world, would be held in her mouth and not swallowed. I've now figured out that fruit snacks (or as Gracie calls them "fruit chews") work nicely. Especially if they happen to be Tinkerbell fruit snacks. I'm sure next week it will be something totally different. I think she just likes to keep me on my toes.

Here's hoping for another great day.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
