Gracie had a really rough night. She kept waking up and tossing and turning. At 3:15 a.m. she woke up, sat up, looked at me and smiled. Then she bent down and gave me a kiss. That was a heart melter. She was awake for about 45 minutes and then fell back to sleep.
This morning Gracie's early intervention teacher and a speech therapist from the school came to meet with Gracie. We are in the process of having her evaluated for her IEP for when she turns three and goes to school. Gracie loves Emily, her teacher, and it was the first time she had met Koni, the speech therapist, but the instant she walked in the house I knew Gracie would take to her immediately. She was warm, engaging, and you instantly knew that she has a great love for children. Gracie chatted quite a bit and Koni got to hear some of her words. When it was time to see them to the door, Gracie even counted 1-2-3 as we walked down the steps. We've just started teaching her that. I'm also working on teaching her what her name is. Sometimes she will say it and other times she will just ignore me or smile as if to say "you already know".
Then we headed to daycare. Gracie played her boneless girl routine when we got there, but was greeted by lots of her little friends and soon she was off watching TV with her buddies. Daddy picked her up at daycare and Gracie had a good day and was a smiley happy girl when I got home.
Gracie got very upset when I put crescent rolls in the oven as she wanted one NOW! From there we had a number of tantrums. After bathtime she mellowed out and turned back into our sweet girl. She is now sleeping peacefully.
Tomorrow we visit the ENT surgeon to see if it is time to have her ear tubes removed. Wish us luck.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
