Wednesday - The Frog

Gracie got to see the frog at school yesterday.  Her teacher took her hand and said "Gracie, lets go see the frog."  They went to the aquarium to see it and before long the frog moved a little.  This made Gracie jump back and not want to be there.  Her teacher asked Gracie "No thanks?".  Gracie nodded her head and away they went to listen to music and dance.  Gracie would look over at the frog curiously every once in awhile...from about 10 feet away!

When it was time to get on the bus at school to go back to daycare, Gracie did not want to get on as there was a different bus driver.  I'm not quite sure what transpired, but when she got to daycare she wouldn't get off and her daycare mom had to go on the bus to get her.  She said Gracie had just totally shut down and wasn't going to do anything for anyone.  Keep in mind, transitions and change are difficult for Gracie.  Her afternoon was better and she played with her friends at daycare and had a good time. 

Gracie is my eating machine again...and her food of choice (other than her beloved fruit) is peanut butter bread. 

Gracie's favorite part of our evening was calling cousin Jason to sing Happy Birthday!

Gracie had a pretty good night.  I could tell she had a little trauma in her day as she was a little more needy last night, but still happy and playful a good part of the time.  She seemed quite tired, but had a hard time falling asleep, just couldn't settle down.  She awoke at 3:30 a.m. this morning, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.  Unfortunately, I was not.  She finally fell asleep about 4:30 a.m. - I never did fall back to sleep.  YAWN!

Gracie was in a good mood this morning.  She did go to bite me this morning when I put her sweater on...I told her she had better turn that into a kiss, which she did...followed by a few more kisses.  :)

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
