Gracie had a good day today. I (dad) picked her up at daycare and then played in the front yard for a half hour before going inside. Then mom got home with supper and Grace proceeded to eat most of my BBQ chicken salad, along with mommy's chicken stir-fry pita (mmm, Baker's Square take out - yummy).
We then went out for another walk - and went down to the store and back, then around the block. Grace had a wonderful time looking at the bunnies, squirrels, and - of course - the BIRDS!
We had very few "disagreements" tonite. We are finding that part of Grace's Soto's issue, is that she cannot self-regulate, or calm down on her own - so when she gets riled up, she cannot bring herself back down to a calm condition. We have done pretty well in finding ways to help her calm down when things start to get out of hand.
However - as you may remember from recent entries, Grace has had a terrible issue with biting here at home. We have been beside ourselves with how to break her of this. We recently re-looked at some of her self-calming issues, along with a few other factors, and have decided on a new approach. Our trial is only 2 days old, but so far the results look promising. This is a good thing, as I won't miss the teeth marks in my arm :-)
Grace went to sleep a while ago, and then as I was emptying the dishwasher, something caught my eye, and there was a little girl standing beside me. She walked out of her room, and into the kitchen without making a sound. Usually when she gets out of bed, it is a fairly large production, so this was a new thing. Mommy whisked her back into her room - and Grace is now fast asleep . . . again. I plan to join the ranks of the unconscious soon - so will sign off for now.
Thanks for reading. Have a great day.
Love,
Jeff, Lisa, and Gracie
