Gracie had a good day at daycare yesterday and with the nice weather got some outdoor playtime in. Jeff picked her up and they had just finished supper by the time I got home. Gracie immediately wanted to go outside. I was starving and wanted to eat and she immediately became very upset. I knelt down, picked her up and let her know that I understood that she missed mommy and wanted to play and I wanted to play with her too, but mommy was really hungry. Perhaps she would want to sit on my lap while I ate. In the past, Gracie would not have responded to that reasoning. She is really starting to understand and if you take the time to talk to her and get down to her level or bring her up to our level, she responds very positively most of the time. So she sat on my lap while I ate and was a very good girl and we headed outdoors shortly after I was done. We spent the whole evening outdoors and she was in a fantastic mood. The outdoors has a way of making her a happy happy girl.
Gracie had a much more restful night last night, still a little restless in the wee hours of the morning, but that just seems to be the norm and as I talk to other parents of children with Sotos Syndrome, it seems this is a pattern that most parents see.
Gracie was in a great mood this morning and after eating breakfast made a request that we play "Simon Says". So before daycare we had a good game and she was loving it.
Today at daycare she was headed to a local park for a church gathering/party geared toward kids. They were going to have a picnic lunch and then swimming was a possibility too. The events were a little too close to nap time though, so I'm not sure that swimming will happen.
Gracie is imitating everything she hears these days. Last night on our walk some dogs were barking and pretty soon she was imitating there bark in a sing-songy way. She's got a good ear on her.
Enjoy your day.
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
