Spring!







This spring we built a swing set, planted a vegetable garden, went pee-pee in the potty for the first time (well Gracie did), can sing our ABC's and count to ten with a little help, and know all our shapes and colors! It has been quite an eventful few months! Three months shy of Gracie's second birthday she is quick to master anything new that comes her way. She's not really interested in potty training and doesn't mind hanging out with poo in her pants, so we are not really pushing that yet. What she DOES love is swinging (as high as the swing will go . . . "higher, momma! Higher!"), riding in the bike trailer, and coloring in her sketch book. We can't wait for the sun to come out this spring because she would stay outside all day if we let her!

Monologue

Every night at bedtime after reading books, we turn off the light and ask Gracie how her day was, and at 21 months old she has proved to be quite the "Mag Pie" in her response: "I go to Beth's house. I play in car. I go to beach. Gracie go ni-night. Monsters sing to Gracie. Beth's a nice girl. Gracie hit - go to time out." This age is so fun!
