Wednesday - Time with Daddy

Gracie brought a lot of projects home from school yesterday.  There was a lot of fingerpainting going on at school and my guess is that Gracie enjoyed it immensely.  I also know where the orange splotch of paint on her skirt came from, as well as the blue under her fingernails!

Gracie had a good day at daycare as well, with the exception of one incident where she got mad while playing ring around the rosy.  We're not sure what instigated it.   She may have been feeling a bit jealous as the other two girls started holding hands.  Still not being equipped to express feelings, she got a bit grabbie and pinchy and of course that got her removed from the game and that caused tears.  Just as that was all settling down, daddy showed up to pick her up and that caused major hysterics as she was conflicted, happy to see daddy, but it also meant that she had to go home.  Once in the van on the way home she turned into happy girl again. 

When I came home I brought Gracie some McDonald's chicken nuggets for supper.  She greeted me at the gate, saw the McDonald's bag, removed it from my hands, took it to the table, helped herself to the contents and was eating away happily.  Aunt Sheila stopped by to take mommy away for a couple of hours to help get some graduation supplies, so it was good bonding time for Gracie and daddy.  Gracie was super excited to see Aunt Sheila and had lots of hugs for her and enjoyed singing songs with her. 

Gracie and daddy had a good night together.  I came home knowing Gracie would need a bath and was surprised to see that she already had one.  Daddy did a great job.  After getting her out of the tub he wondered why it always takes mommy so long, then he realized that although he had washed Gracie's hair, he forgot to comb through it.  This is no easy task.  So he did it after she was out of the tub and it seemed to go okay.  I always do it in the tub as it needs to be quite wet to get through it.  Gracie was in a great mood and had a great night's sleep. 

Gracie was 100% daddy's girl this morning.  That's okay...tonight he's going golfing, so I will win her back!!!  :)

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
