The Weekend

Gracie and Jeff had some good bonding time on Saturday. I went to a funeral (rest in peace Uncle Delphin) while Jeff stayed home with Gracie. They had a good day and Gracie was very good for daddy. They even went out on a field trip looking for strollers that have a 75 lb. weight capacity. Most only have a 50 lb. capacity and well with Gracie at 45 lbs. she has totally outgrown her stroller. We have her wheelchair of course, but we are looking for something that is light and easily folds up. We just needs something for when we are out and about and she tires of walking. We have found one we would like to order, but it is quite expensive. So we'll keep looking.

My sister Sheila and I travelled to the funeral together, so Gracie had some bonding time with Aunt Sheila when we returned. She was very happy to see her and share some snacks and some walks.

On Sunday, cousin Jason came to spend some time with us and Gracie was thrilled to see him. Although she took a three hour nap on Sunday afternoon, so slept up some of her play time with him. I knew I was going to be in trouble with her sleeping that long. With the time change and her long nap, she didn't fall asleep until close to 10:30 p.m. This from the girl who is usually in bed by 8:30 p.m. Aunt Sheila and Uncle Chris joined us for supper too. So Gracie was loving all of the attention and company.

Gracie was very tired this morning. I was feeling thankful that she doesn't have school today. On the way to daycare, she usually talks or sings or reads a book. Not today. She sort of sat there in a zombyish state. When I would whisper "Gracie are you asleep?" She would whisper back "no"! She livened up a bit when we got to daycare though. They were planning a little field trip this morning and this afternoon another little girl that Gracie loves to play with was going to come over to play. I think she is going to be a tired little girl tonight.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
