Sunday - More Fun on the Swings

Gracie slept in til just about 8:00 a.m. this morning. Pure bliss. She awoke in a good mood, but still was very clingy today, had alot of outbursts when things wouldn't go her way, and wanted to be held alot. She also had alot of beautiful smiles, snuggles, and kisses.

We sent daddy to church by himself today as we weren't sure what Gracie's mood would bring, and Gracie and I watched mass on TV. Gracie was a good girl this morning, but wanted to be held alot. Jeff and I are starting to think that allowing yogurt back in her diet may be the cause of this. Gracie doesn't tolerate milk products, but has a great love of yogurt. We had cut it out of her diet for a while and this last week added it back in to see how she did. We're thinking that her tummy isn't feeling quite right, thus the wanting to be held. Much to her unhappiness, we didn't allow her to have any today. She begs for yogurt. I did make a soy smoothie with soy milk and frozen strawberries to substitute and she liked that too, but it's not her loved yogurt. Oh and yes, we've tried soy yogurt, she is not a fan of that.

Gracie took an hour nap today and then we headed outside for the afternoon. First we walked around our big extended block. Gracie is getting quite brave and decided she didn't want to hold mom or dad's hands and sometimes she would decide that she wanted to go the opposite way we were going and sometimes she would decide that she needed to go investigate the garage doors or cars of people we didn't know. She was in the exploring mood.

When we got back home we played outside for awhile then we put her in her wheelchair and went to the elementary school nearby and let her play on the swings and slides again. She had a great time and is getting braver and braver. She was very mad when it was time to come in the house.

Gracie had a pretty good evening, although she still wanted to be held alot.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
