- Saturday - Our day started bright and early at a local clinic where we got Gracie's flu vaccination. We went with the FluMist for her and she decided not to cooperate, so we ended up with a battle on our hands. We got the job accomplished this time, but as she gets bigger and stronger I'm not sure what will happen. Then we headed to the grocery store where Gracie greeted each and every customer that strolled by. So many of them were super sweet to her and stopped to say hello and give her a few kind words. Later in the day, Gracie and daddy went outside to play so I could bake some bread and cut veggies for vegetable beef soup. On Saturday night we dressed Gracie up as Minnie Mouse (a hand me down costume that my sister Cheryl made 25+ years ago for her daughters) and headed to "Trunk or Treat" at Jeff's church. Gracie had a meltdown having to get her clothes changed, she was in a snit of a mood and I almost just said "forget it", but we forged on and in the end Gracie had a great time. She enjoyed the music even more than the treats.
- Sunday - Aunt Sheila and Jason came over for a visit. Gracie had a great time and was thrilled with our visitors (Jeff and I were too). As they were leaving, Gracie wanted her coat on to walk them out...we ended up saying goodbye and then taking a walk around the neighborhood. Once she tired out, we put her in the stroller and continued on and weren't surprised to see that Gracie fell asleep. Then we went and picked up some pizza and just had a quiet evening at home.
- Monday - Gracie had school in the morning and I got a note that she became quite warm and they had to cool her off a bit with a cool cloth and a drink of water. She seemed fine later, so not sure if perhaps she got too warm on the bus with her winter coat. At daycare she decided a nap wasn't necessary and enjoyed the afternoon getting her fingernails polished and doing a craft with colored sand. She also came home with some yummy treats. Jeff picked Gracie up early and made sure we got some good food in her before trick-or-treating began. We got her all dressed up as Minnie Mouse and she was pretty cooperative. As soon as the first trick-or-treaters hit our door, she was ready to be outside. Jeff and Gracie were out trick-or-treating for over an hour. She had a great time and was even invited in for a visit at one house. Gracie was so tired by the time she got home, she ate a lollipop, we read a couple of books and she was ready for bed. She had a very restless night though.
- Tuesday - When it was time to wake Gracie up this morning, I could not get her to wake up. I tried and tried, but she was sleeping so tight it was next to impossible. When she finally did wake up she was in a good mood and went off to daycare. I got a call from daycare shortly after she was to get on the bus, that she was having a really rough morning and pretty much refused to go on the bus. She was very tearful and unhappy. Our daycare provider made the decision to keep her there to give her extra TLC today rather than going to school. A decision that I wholeheartedly support and I love our daycare provider even more for recognizing she needed a day with a little extra care.
Happy Halloween...hard to believe it's already November 1st.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
