We went to the pumpkin patch and picked out some pumpkins to take home, went through the corn maze, had a great time watching butterflies and grasshoppers, and just had a blast running in the open space. At one point when in the corn maze some boys were running around (a little too closely for Gracie's comfort level as one almost knocked her down), one yelled who wants to be the corn maze monster now. Gracie yelled "me". Although they didn't pay any attention to her, mommy did. So Gracie practiced saying "GRRRR" and pretending she was the monster. It was great fun.
On Sunday we were invited by our friend Carly to visit her family farm, complete with miniature horses, chickens, a dog, a cat, apple trees, and some wonderful people. Gracie had a blast! She loved feeding oats to the horses, even though in some of the pictures she looks a little tentative. She enjoyed the chickens and the louder the noises the animals made the happier she was. She talked about the horses and showed me how they ate out of her hand all night long.
Then Carly treated Gracie to her very first convertible ride. I wasn't sure how Gracie would respond to it, but she absolutely loved every minute of it. To those of you who know her well, Gracie does a sort of happy dance when she is really excited, this consists of her sort of flapping her arms and legs. Well she was doing the happy dance!
We had a fantastic weekend! Gracie has had some rough nights as she seems to cough all night long disrupting her sleep, but she must be getting enough rest as she is ready to go during the day. I enjoyed all of the smiles I saw from her on the weekend. I got alot of voluntary hugs and kisses during the weekend, I think that is another sign that she was having a great time.
Enjoy the mild week!
Love,
Lisa, Jeff, and Gracie
