A Good Week

Gracie has had a good week.  Each day at school gets a little bit better.  On Wednesday she had a great day and was very interactive, cooperative, and even was verbal.  The end of her school day didn't go as well.  She has such a hard time with transitions and when it was time to go to her locker, she didn't want to cooperate.  Her teacher waited her out and when she saw me as I was picking her up, she fell to the floor and stayed there for a while.  We've decided to hold off on her start date for adding in two days at a local nursery school to her school curriculum.  We want her to be comfortable at school first, then will add the other in mid to late April. 

We received Gracie's environmental allergy tests back, seems she is allergic to two different molds (that seem to be very prevalent right now) and she is allergic to dogs.  Her eyes are red and itchy and she doesn't seem to get much relief.  We are putting drops in two times per day and giving her a 24-hour Claritin every day as recommended by her allergist.  We postponed her skin test for a possible penicillin allergy as she has to be off antihistamines for 5 days and that isn't going to happen right now.

Gracie is very much enjoying her time at daycare and has many friends there.  We also find that most of the parents (even of kids not in her class) seem to know her.  She has an abundant supply of hugs for everyone.  She loves to play outdoors, so has been enjoying the weather quite a bit. 

I am happy to report it has been a pretty uneventful week...we needed one of those!

Hope you're having a good week too!

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
