Yesterday was a great day for Gracie from the moment she woke up to the moment she fell asleep. She was happy and giggly and well-adjusted. When I dropped her off at daycare she was fine with me leaving. Usually she just wants to hold on for as long as she can. Yesterday it was "bye mom" with a big smile. She had a good day playing with the other kids.
Jeff picked Gracie up and they did a few errands and then went to visit some work friends. She was spoiled there as usual. When I got home she was happy and smiley. She did get a little aggravated because she wanted her supper and it was too hot, so we sang a song (a made up song) about how hard it was to wait, when you wanted your food. Gracie joined in and that made the wait a little easir.
After supper, Jeff left to perform Magic at Hope Lodge and Gracie, Mr. Giraffe (Gracie's toy giraffe) and I went for a walk. Gracie insisted Mr. Giraffe come along. She was hilarious with him. He stopped at just about every yard for a nibble of their grass. At a few houses, she just plopped Mr. Giraffe on their lawn and stood back and laughed. She was having a great time, talking the whole way. With our frequent stops for grass nibbles, our walk took quite a long time. Once we got back home, I put Gracie and Mr. Giraffe in the stroller and took another walk at a little faster pace. We were outside for about an hour. It was very crisp and cool, but it felt good. I gave Gracie a little warning that we would have to go in soon and she was fully cooperative...no meltdowns. YAY!
We read a couple of books and Gracie fell asleep quite quickly. She had a very good night, but woke up a little owly. This morning was a little more difficult than we've had in quite a while. I got bit twice (and yes she got two time outs) for putting on her clothes. She wanted to play with her balloons and didn't want mommy messing with her. She mellowed on the way to daycare...as always.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
