- Saturday: Grandma & Grandpa D came over to join us for supper. Gracie enjoyed the visit and even took them for a walk around the block. Gracie also developed hives on her stomach - we can't figure out what they came from. It has now turned into just a rash -- it looks almost like a heat rash now. I touched base with a pediatric nurse and if it doesn't clear up in a week, we'll need to schedule a visit.
- Sunday: We were supposed to go to a graduation in Iowa, but with the crazy weather (storms) we opted not to go. Gracie did not like when it hailed, it woke her up from her nap and she kept saying "Rain Bye Bye". On an exciting note, Gracie can now use her legs to pump when swinging. This is the result of a lot of work on her part with coaching from Jeff and our daycare provider. Gracie is a big fan of the show "Full House" (re-runs of course). She now goes around the house saying "How Rude"! Uncle Chris stopped by for a little bit on Sunday evening and Gracie was very happy to see him. She had lots of smiles and hugs for him.
- Monday: She had school and later in the day she kept doing hand imitations. It looked like it was probably from a song they had sung, but I couldn't make it out. I'm going to need to ask about that. We went to the school playground last night at Gracie's request and she climbed up the open ladder type equipment. I was so proud of her for doing it, but very, very, very, very, very nervous. Jeff or I had a hand on her at all times, but she did all the work. She's becoming a little more daring these days. She said her first independent 4 word sentence yesterday. She was looking for her Mickey Mouse action figure and said "Mickey, where are you?" Since it was so warm yesterday, I pulled out her new summer shoes that are enclosed, but let a little more air circulate on the foot. These have velcro tabs on them, that she loves to open. For the first time EVER, she took off her own shoes and she was so proud!!!!
- Tuesday: Today we have Gracie's IEP at school. We'll meet with her teachers, physical therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, and probably a few others. We're excited to know that there is a slot available for her again next year at her current school. We're pretty sure the days of attendance will increase. I'm anxious to hear a progress report from her teacher as I've seen amazing growth and development of skills since the beginning of the school year.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
