Gracie had a good night and awoke about 6:45 a.m. She was in a very good mood and ready for the day. We headed out about 9:00 a.m. for an hour drive to a park to meet another family that has a two year old with Sotos Syndrome. We arrived at 10:00 a.m. and no one was there yet, so we played on the swingset and slides. Gracie loved going down this bumpy slide all by herself. One of us would get her situated at the top and the other would catch her at the bottom. She would just giggle by the time she would get to the bottom. Then up she would go to do it again.
By 11:30 a.m. the other family hadn't shown up yet, so we sat under a tree and ate our picnic lunch and then played til about 12:00 noon. We figured they were a no show so we headed back home as Gracie was getting tired. Come to find out there are two parks with similar names and we were at opposite parks. Unfortunately, we never did connect.
After a nap, Gracie played outside with her water table. Jeff has installed a gate on our deck stairs, as well as mesh around the outside of the deck, so Gracie can be safely on the deck while I fill the water table with water and she is free to motor around the deck without me having to be two steps behind her. She found the freedom refreshing and was the happiest little girl.
We had strawberry soy smoothies for our afternoon snack. These have become a favorite for Gracie. They cool her down and are nutritious too...bonus!
After supper we put Gracie in her wheelchair and took a walk around the neighborhood. We even got to visit with mommy's friend Carol. Gracie decided to be shy and non-social for this visit.
After our walk, Gracie splashed around in the tub for a bit and then was more than ready for bed. She is in sweet dream land.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
