We had a nice pretty low key weekend, which was a good thing. Gracie's antibiotics are giving her a bit of an upset stomach, so she has been much more needy, wanting to snuggle with mommy and not letting mommy out of her sight for long, including trips to the bathroom. This is a 10 day course of meds and Thursday can't come soon enough for my liking. Poor little thing. I'm not convinced the ear infection is gone either...she's been pulling at her ear quite a bit over the last couple of days and last night she had a very restless night. It could just be all the sinus pressure from her cold too. Her nose is an endless faucet of goo!
Gracie also had some very good times this weekend. She is definitely starting to enjoy her toys more these days, which is fun to watch. She goes digging in her toy box for just the right thing. She also enjoyed time outdoors this weekend. On Saturday late afternoon, Gracie and I played outdoors for about 3 hours and she did not want to go in. Yesterday we bundled her up and she and Jeff went outdoors for about an hour and she was having a great time. I had her favorite supper all ready for when she walked in the door. I was waiting for a meltdown about having to come inside, but she must have been hungry as she spied the plate of food and did not fuss. Instead, in a happy voice she said "what's that?". She was a very good eater too.
We have been struggling and struggling to get enough calcium in Gracie. She refuses to drink milk, including chocolate milk. Well I changed to HyVee brand soy milk, which seems to have less of a strong smell and last night she saw Jeff drinking chocolate milk in a big glass glass. Gracie loves drinking out of anything that isn't a sippy cup. She informed us that she wanted some. Since Jeff's was cow's milk, I told her she could have her own. I mixed up some chocolate soy milk in a similar breakable big glass and she was in heaven. She chugged it all down and asked for more. I'm hoping our calcium woes are a thing of the past! We do have to be right by her, as she doesn't quite understand holding the glass upright at all times.
Gracie was kind of a grumpy grundy this morning, but once we got in the car, she totally mellowed out. I'm hoping she has a good day at school and afternoon at daycare.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
