Gracie has come down with another virus of some sort. I initially thought it was the remnants of her last one, but she has a sore throat, congestion, a runny nose is starting, and the cough is just nasty. She coughs all night long and if that doesn't keep her up, she has trouble sleeping because she can't breathe. Last night was rough to say the least. We slept with her sitting up on me for awhile, then we bounced, but her 53 lbs. is getting difficult for me to bounce too long. Then we slept on the couch for awhile with her sitting on top of me, we tried different pillows, and the bottom line is we both got little sleep. Thankfully she awoke in a good mood. The first thing she showed me upon waking was her pretty pink fingernails. Her daycare mom polished them yesterday (all except the thumb, since Gracie is a thumbsucker) and Gracie is soooooo proud of them. They do look pretty.
Gracie came home from school in her "extra set of clothes". Not sure what happened and school doesn't either. They said she must have sat in something. They also said she had a good day. When she got off the bus she looked very sad and just not herself. She ate lunch, took a nap, was pretty quiet for awhile and then started to be happy again. We're not sure if the cold was just getting her down or if something else happened. Oh how I wish she could tell us.
On the way home from daycare, I did a totally boneheaded move. I put Gracie in her car seat and we headed down the road, all of a sudden Gracie stands up and starts coming toward the front seat. Ahhhh yes, mommy forgot to actually buckle her in. I said, "Oh no Gracie, did mommy forget to buckle you?" Followed by a quick "Could you please sit down?" Gracie was very obedient and sat right down. She also found this terribly amusing. So as soon as it was safe to do so, we pulled over and got her buckled. This is a first for me.
Gracie had a good evening. She ate a good supper and then we went out to play for a little bit. She loves to stand up in her play set and drive it (it has a movable steering wheel attached) and play either boat or train. She always asks us "tickets please?". Our neighbors down the street have a huge lighted pumpkin in their yard - she loves that. Next door to that is a ghost on a stick, she's not as fond of that. Or maybe she's just not fond of mommy saying "boo" when we are next to it. Hmmmm.
Gracie brought home from school a cute little tool box she made out of construction paper, it had a paper hammer, wrench, and paint brush in it. She loves showing us her projects.
It's supposed to hit 80 here today, we'll have to get outside and enjoy it this evening.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
