Jeff worked all weekend, so Gracie and I had a great, yet mellow weekend together. We had a playdate planned for Saturday morning, but a g.i. bug hit the home of our play buddies, so we took a raincheck. We hope you are all feeling better playmates.
On Saturday morning we did a little shopping. First stop...the shoe store where I was assured she still had enough room in her sneakers. Next stop...the mall. We got Gracie some shorts that were on sale in a size bigger than what she wears...just in case a growth spurt hits before the summer is over. Then we stopped at McDonalds for some chicken mcnuggets and french fries. We took it home and added some healthy fruit to the lunch menu. We played outside after nap and into the evening. Jeff made it home at supper time and we grilled hamburgers and ate out on the deck.
In the evening Gracie was having a great time climbing up the slide and going down all by herself with no one catching her. She then thought it was great fun to play puppy by crawling on all fours on the grass with her tongue hanging out of her mouth while she pretended to pant. I made sure to wash her hands well after that in case any squirrels had left any nut debris in the grass. Unfortunately, this didn't help her seasonal allergies at all and her eyes were bright red before bed. When she awoke in the morning, her right eye was so swollen she could barely get it open. We used prescription eye drops and nasal spray, and gave her the daily Claritin and they were looking a lot better by noon, but they were definitely swollen all day.
On Sunday, at Gracie's request, we went to Target "to buy chicken". Gracie LOVES going to the store. We also stopped at Old Navy where she is in love with the little kid and dog mannequins. She was holding their hands and hugging them. There is one just a little bigger than her that has the cutest piggy tails and she was sporting piggy tails too. I wish I would have had a camera to take a picture of the two of them together.
Other than that our day was pretty lazy. Gracie pepped up when daddy got home about 7:30 p.m. She was definitely missing him. Unfortunately bedtime came way too soon for her liking. We try to get her in bed by 8:00 p.m. on school nights...but she needed some daddy time, so it was more like 8:30 p.m.
Gracie had a great day at school today and was very verbal. She kept telling her classmates "good job" on the playground. She did accidentally ingest a small amount of ice cream that was manufactured in a facility with tree nuts before staff realized it. So school monitored her for about 45 minutes and the bus staff and daycare are now on monitoring alert as well. I'm pretty sure that if there was going to be an allergic reaction we would have seen it by now. I'm hoping and praying that all is fine.
It looks like it is going to be a beautiful week.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
