Happy Friday

Hello again! Yes, it's the all knowing dad writing to you again tonite.

What a good day! Grace was a little grumpy when she got up this morning - between you and me - it's because she woke up only 4 minutes before dad had to leave for work (however, I could be wrong). Lisa snuggled with her for a while this morning and Grace snapped out of her crankiness.

Was a good day at daycare. When I arrived to pick her up all of the kids were around the table having milk and animal crackers. Upon seeing me, Gracie had to show me that she too had an "aminal" cracker in her mouth - that sure did look (ahem) tasty.

After we got home, Gracie decided that it was time to walk outside for a while. We walked up and down the hill in our front yard, and on the flat of the boulevard, and down the sidewalk, and then chased dad up the hill again, etc, etc. This went on for about 40 minutes with Grace having a big smile the whole time. I finally got her to go into the house for a little bit - at least so I could change out of my tie - and then she insisted that we go back out for more. All of the up and down the hill, and working with weight shifting and turning corners on a hill (while chasing dad) was hard work for her. She was having so much fun though, I don't even think she recognized that she was engaging in therapy and "work".

Grandma and Grandpa D came over tonite, and we all had a real good time. Grace was on top of her game, having to take grandma by the hand and show her around the house, as well as other fun stuff.

After Grandma and Grandpa left, Grace was starting to look a little worn out - until someone said, "should we head to bed?" - then suddenly she was wide awake, laughing, cracking "jokes" and tearing all over the house. But finally - CRASH. Down for the count she is.

Mommy is feeling tired too, and dad has some work to finish, and then off to bed too.

Have a great weekend!
Love,
Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
