Monday/Tuesday - Just Doesn't Like Bugs

Gracie had a good day yesterday.  At school her regular teacher was away, so she joined another class and enjoyed singing new songs and meeting new friends.  One the para-professionals that works with Gracie commented that they are sure enjoying how much Gracie is talking these days.  That was so good for me to hear.  She talks constantly at home, but doesn't always do so other places. 

Gracie used to be quite interested in watching bugs, but has just recently started becoming quite scared of them.  Yesterday in school she went over to the sensory tub where there is Easter grass, plastic bugs, a magnifying glass and a set of tongs.  She took one look in the tub and jumped and didn't want to look again, even though they kept telling her they weren't real. 

Gracie was so tired when she got off the bus that she didn't want any lunch.  She took a nap first, then ate a later lunch.  She had a good day playing and talking and her daycare mom said it is very evident that she is feeling better than she did last week.  When I arrived to pick her up she was having a snack.  It was so much fun watching her eat this gigantic strawberry as if it were an apple.  I think she enjoyed the fact that it wasn't cut up.  She loves eating things like a big girl and not having them cut up. 

Gracie and I hung out last night as Jeff was working another long and late day.  Just before bedtime, Jeff came home and Gracie got to spend a little time with him.  She slept so soundly last night.  I think she needed that.  She awoke with smiles.

Have a great day.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
