Gracie woke me up at 7:00 a.m. with a smile on her face and she was ready to start the day. We had our traditional Saturday morning cinnamon rolls for breakfast. These are an absolute favorite of hers and it amazes me how many she can eat. Then it was tub time and while Gracie was splashing we got a visit from Auntie Sheila. Gracie was thrilled to see her and that ended bath time. Gracie was quick to give hugs and take Sheila for walks.
Then we headed to Baker's Square for lunch. This is the first time we've taken Gracie to a restaurant in months. She did pretty good. We are very good about letting Gracie get up from the table as soon as she signs that she is "all done". This is not as easily accomplished at a restaurant. She did get orange juice in a cup with a straw and that was a huge hit. She loves to drink from straws.
After lunch we headed to the bridal store and tried on and then ordered Gracie's flowergirl dress for her cousin Crystal's wedding. She thought she was a princess. She came out of the dressing room with this beautiful dress on and one of the sales staff told her she looked like a princess. Gracie who was getting overdue for her nap, very adamantly shook her head "no"! After a quick stop at the office supply store where Gracie started to become upset and very vocal, we headed home and into bed for an 1 hour and 45 minute nap.
We had a quick snack after lunch and then we headed outside to enjoy the beautiful 60 degree day. We walked to the local school and Gracie got to swing, slide, and climb on the jungle gym. She had a great time and then we walked back home. Gracie wasn't ready to go inside yet, so we hung out on the deck and in the backyard for awhile. We got to talk with neighbor Diane, and then neighbor Nancy and her dog Annabelle stopped by to say hi too. Gracie loves Annabelle. Then we got a visit from Aunt Lana, and cousins Katie and Jayme. Gracie was smiles from ear to ear.
Gracie ate a huge supper and was in a great mood all night long. What a great day for all of us.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
