First time on the beach.

Gracie's first time on the beach wasn't the best but it could have been worse. She has been coming to me to sit on my lap alot lately so I took the time today to have "story time" with her. I started to tell the story of a little girl and her first day at the beach but it turned out to be telling her story as she might have told it.
"These crazy people I live with took me to this place called the beach and I had to walk in the hot stuff they called sand that got stuck in my shoes. Then they picked me up and took me to this roiling water they called the ocean to get my feet wet. Well, not only did my feet get wet but I came up and covered me and then I got all wet and got some of that scratchy stuff in my diaper. Yuk. (Here she laughed like she understood what I was saying) Then I decided that I had enough and decided to go back the way we came in. But they kept picking me up and taking me back to the blankets. Well, after 6 or 7 times, I got really fed up and decided to pitch a big loud fit. (here she laughed again). Well, that time it worked and they packed everything up. And then they had the nerve to make me walk back through that hot scratchy stuff to get to the car! Oh man."
It just struck me how she laughed almost on cue! Life is always interesting with Miss Grace!
