Gracie had a good day at daycare yesterday and was a good girl. Jeff picked her up at daycare and by the time I arrived home from work, she had a bit of attitude going on. In a fit of frustration (I'm not quite sure about what) she removed absolutely every magnet and other items that were posted on the refrigerator door and threw them to the floor. After she was done with that little fit, I sat beside her on the floor and told her that when you make a mess you have to clean it up. So together we sang the pick up song and picked up everything that was thrown to the floor. She was only to happy to help.
Gracie ate a good supper and then we headed to the bathtub to splash for a while. Water seems to be a great mood equalizer for Gracie. She did fine in the tub, but when taken out was putting up quite a fuss and clocked her dad one in the head. I walked her upstairs for her timeout. She was very unhappy to have to sit for two minutes, but after it was all over, I sat down and we talked a bit. I told her I thought she needed to go tell daddy she was sorry, which she was very willing to do. Not only did she sign it, but she verbally said it too. After we got that over with, she was charming for the rest of the night. We took a walk outside and then after that she sat in the stroller as Jeff and I took a brisker walk. When we got home, we sat on the front porch and let her run and play. She was having a great time. She didn't even fuss when it was time to go inside to bed. She fell asleep very quickly and had a great night.
Gracie awoke in a GREAT mood this morning. Amazing what a good night's sleep will do for a girl. She ate a little breakfast and then wanted to dance!!!
It looks like another beautiful sunny day today -- enjoy it!
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
