Wednesday - Getting Beauty Sleep

Gracie awoke at 3:00 a.m. and was wide awake. She tried to fall asleep, she tossed, she turned, we snuggled, we rocked, finally I picked her up and we bounced as I walked the floor with her. She finally fell back to sleep at 4:00 a.m. She was up bright and early at 5:45 a.m. She thought it was great fun to come into the bathroom and sit on the closed toilet while daddy brushed his teeth and mommy was blow drying her hair. Daddy left for work and while mommy curled her hair, Gracie was busy brushing her teeth and smiling at herself in the mirror.

Gracie had a good day at daycare and took a really long nap. She slept from 12:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Making up for the hour that she was awake during the wee hours of the morning, I think. When I picked Gracie up she was in a good mood. When Papa from daycare came home from work, Gracie greeted him with a smile, a "hi", and gave him five.

Gracie was thrilled to see that daddy was home when we arrived home. Daddy was taking a quick rest on the couch and Gracie went over and layed her head on his chest and just snuggled for awhile. We all had a nice dinner together and Gracie was a very good girl throughout.

After dinner it was splish-splash bath time. She was a wild girl in the tub. After tub time daddy, mommy, and Gracie all snuggled on her bed and read lots of books. She snuggled in and was very content and happy to have mommy and daddy hanging out with her.

She fell right to sleep tonight and seems to be sleeping peacefully. Hopefully she will have sweet dreams and a calm night.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
