Today was a day to play hookie from daycare again - and this time dad stayed home with Gracie. She slept in a little later today & did not have any of that crusty gunk holding her eyes shut this morning. Apparently the eye drops are worth all of the effort of holding Grace down and getting hollered at.
We had a pretty good day today. Grace and I (Jeff the dad) listened to alot of music today and danced all around the house. We read books and watched a little TV too. One nice thing about staying home, is that we get to watch "Sid the Science Kid" on PBS. It is a Brian Henson (son of the late Jim Henson) production and is one of the "smarter" kid shows on TV (yet still geared for little kids, so if you are 30 - 40, you will still find some, "oh yeah, right" sections - that's the way it goes). Grace and I both enjoy it greatly - so that gives us something to look forward to in the morning.
We also read alot of books and magazines. Grace loves to take the "Toys R Us" (or similar) sales flyer and read it like a news paper. She will sift through the pages over and over, and she thoroughly enjoys it. So - we read the "Toys" flyer, as well as Target's and others, many times today.
One big thing today was that while Grace was dancing - it was more of a march than dance actually - she just paused, holding one foot off of the ground. That was the FIRST time that ever happened. I was so excited I think I startled her when I say, "Way to go, dearie!" Her one foot balancing act didn't last long - perhaps a second, but it was solid with no wobble or tipping. I can't wait to tell her Physical Therapist next week when we see her.
Lastly - we finished off the day with a bath. That was great fun, and - as usual - in the end there was more water on mom, dad, and the floor than there was left in the tub. She loves to splash and has gotten quite good at heaving water in all directions.
At the end of the day, Grace was one tired little girl. She is now resting comfortably, and the rest of us will soon be following suit.
Have a great night and a great Wednesday.
Love,
Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
