Gracie enjoyed Chuck E. Cheeses on Friday (mommy enjoyed that most of their food is allergy-friendly). She did enjoy some of the games as long as they weren't too loud. She got a VIP pass - which is a little card with her picture on it and a sticker, which we chose to put on the puppy calendar in her room.
On Saturday Gracie's cold was in full force. You could tell she just didn't feel all that great. We changed our errand plans and just stayed home. We were going to go see Jeff in the "Alive Forever" program at his church, but she just needed some TLC at home. I did take her outside for a walk and a stroller ride, and now looking back, that probably wasn't my best decision. Gracie had a horrible time at bedtime, I suspected an ear infection or something similar. She was so jittery and just couldn't be still. It took her 2 hours to finally fall asleep and even after falling asleep was very restless through the night. I was pretty sure we wouldn't be travelling to Iowa for Easter.
On Sunday morning Gracie woke up. She was still pretty tired but seemed to be feeling a bit better, so we decided to continue with our travel plans. Gracie did good. You could tell she didn't feel perfect, but she enjoyed all the attention from my family. She had cousins to walk with and sit with for lunch. She had cousins to take her around and help her with the Easter egg hunt. She was just in heaven if she was either sitting on someone's lap or holding their hand and walking. Her appetite wasn't great, but she did okay. The Easter bunny did bring Gracie a basket with videos, books, a little chocolate, and a chirping baby chick. Her little eyes lit right up when she saw that.
Gracie had a much better night last night and seemed to be feeling even better today, thankfully. I think she was excited to go to school, so I'm hoping she didn't get too run down or tired out today.
Happy Easter to you all.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
