Tuesday - A Day at the Park

Gracie had a bit of a restless night, but awoke in a good mood and once again took her seizure meds without any problems. After she was done eating a chocolate chip muffin and applesauce with her meds, she walked to the cupboard where our cookies are kept and said "cookie". I said "How about a cracker?" But that wouldn't do - it was a cookie she wanted. Since this was the first time she independently verbalized cookie, she was rewarded with one.

Gracie did good when I took her to daycare. She did do a short spurt of "boneless fussing girl", but it was short-lived. It was such a beautiful day that all the kids got to go to the park. Jeff picked her up there and stayed for awhile to let her swing and have a good time.

When I got home we ate a quick supper and then Jeff headed to a church meeting. Gracie and I hung out at home. She was very tired from all the fresh air, but she was so on top of things tonight. She understood pretty much everything I said. I always ask her things about her day and I don't usually get too much of a response from her. Sometimes I get a smile. Tonight I said "Gracie, did you get to go on the swings at the park?" She was laying down sucking her thumb and she stopped, sat up, smiled, and in a big voice said "A-huh." She loves to swing.

We snuggled and danced alot tonight. Gracie just wanted to be held and she had lots of hugs for me. She is now sleeping peacefully.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
