I've mentioned before how evenings are the hardest time for Gracie. It has been explained to us that she keeps everything together and is well-behaved at daycare and school, but by the time she gets home to us she can just let it all out - home is what she considers her safe place and we wouldn't have it any other way. This has gotten better as she gets older, but evenings have always been a little more difficult, some worse than others, some not all that bad at all.
Last night, however, was a huge treat! Happy girl Gracie was there all night. She was agreeable, playful, silly, talkative, and just plain fun ALL NIGHT LONG. Jeff and I just kept looking at each other in disbelief, yet cherishing every minute of it.
At 8:30 p.m. she announced she wanted to go "nigh, nigh" and she went right to sleep. She had a restful night and woke up happy again today. This morning she insisted upon "cake" for breakfast. Cake consists of a chocolate brownie. Yes, she got it...a little piece intermixed with applesauce and her seizure meds. She thought it quite funny when I would tell her she couldn't have another bite til she ate a bite of applesauce.
This afternoon we have her 6 month post-operative ear check (from having her tubes removed). I foresee no issues. Her ears have been doing great. I have no question that she hears fine.
Have a great day!
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
