Tuesday - An Afternoon with Dad and Shopping with Mom

Gracie had another good day on Tuesday.  In the morning she went to daycare and they went to the library to get some different books to read.  She ate lunch at daycare and Jeff picked her up shortly after lunch.  They spent the afternoon together...sleeping!  Gracie took a 3 hour nap!!!  So when I got home from work, Gracie was in a great mood!  She was mondo excited when she saw the big cupcake balloon a friend from work had sent home for her. 

We ate supper quick and Jeff left to do a magic show for National Night Out and we ran to the mall to exchange an outfit for a bigger size.  Gracie was quite the social butterfly, saying "hi" to everyone, wanting to hold the hands of the sales clerks.  I must say all the sales clerks were awesome with her -- sweet and kind. 

As a treat for being such a good girl we stopped at McDonald's and got an ice cream cone for Gracie.  She loved that.  On the way home though, she started not looking so good.  Her head was bent down, her lip out like she wasn't feeling well or was very sad and she wouldn't say anything to me.  I made sure she was breathing and then zipped home very quickly to assess the situation.  When I got in the back seat of the car with her and started talking to her, she wouldn't say a thing to me and still had the sad face.  As I started to talk to her more, I could tell she was holding back a smile. Little Miss Grace is becoming a great big tease and when I asked her if she was teasing mom she started laughing and said "yes". 

We took a walk around the block and enjoyed being outside for a bit.  She even got a visit from neighbors Nanci and Diane, and puppies Annabelle and Morgan.  That was a big hit.  Then we went inside and I cleaned out a cooler on the back deck that had cans of Diet Coke in them, as well as other things.  I stacked them on the kitchen table to dry.  Miss Grace nonchalantly walks in the kitchen and says "Coke Please", then helps herself to a can on the table and tries to open it.  Once again teaseville because she knows she doesn't get Diet Coke and rarely pop of any kind.  Jeff and I were thrilled to see her start to stack the cans on top of each other.  She got three stacked high and went for a fourth, but she wasn't quite tall enough to make that one work. 

Gracie had a pretty restless night, not quite sure why, but she kept waking up.  She would go right back to sleep though.  She awoke in a good mood this morning and was dancing and singing already this morning.

Have a great day.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
