The Weekend

For those wondering...Gracie had a great time with her friend Aubrey on Friday.  When Jeff went to pick her up, Gracie and Aubrey were dancing around and had a famously wonderful day!  She was in the best mood that night too, so that is always a good sign.  On Friday night she also told me she had to go "poop" and when I took her to the bathroom, she did!!!  So we had a big celebration about her going to the bathroom on the toilet.  We have to get her trained soon, she is outgrowing all the diapers.  I ordered her some youth diapers for special needs -- they have to get better options, they are huge and ugly and can't be comfortable.  I'll smoosh her into the size 7 Pampers for as long as I can.  Do you think I could talk Pampers into making a size 8????  :)

On Saturday we got up bright and early and took a drive to Grandma and Grandpa B's.  Gracie was a little shy at first, but it was so nice for Gracie to have G&G to herself.  Usually we are there for family gatherings so there are so many people to play with.  We had lunch with them and stayed until mid-afternoon.  Gracie had lots of kisses for Grandma & Grandpa and was a busy little body exploring their house.  We had a great time.  On the way home she even fell asleep for about 30 minutes and that was the extent of her nap for the day.  We played outside in the evening and we all enjoyed the mild fall day.

On Sunday, we had a lazy day.  We went to church in the morning and took Gracie to Sunday school.  Gracie didn't want to have any part of that, but Bonnie, a wonderful woman who is awesome with Gracie, slowly coaxed her to stay.  She enjoyed listening to music and dancing and had a good time.  The rest of the day was pretty low key.  Gracie took a 90 minute nap (so did I) and then we spent the rest of the afternoon outside, just walking and playing. 

Gracie was very verbal all weekend!  We heard a lot of three word sentences!  She talked about Grandma and Grandpa a lot.

Today it is back to school and we have her routine Neurology appointment this afternoon.  I don't suspect much for changes, other than a possible seizure med increase with her growing as fast as she is.

Have a great week.

Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
