Big Week

WOW! Lots of things happened with Gracie this week! First off , Gracie peed on the potty TODAY!!! ok TMI but I was so excited. As she has been taking her clothes off all this week I caught her in the act of pulling off her pants and diaper and steered her to the potty. Sat her down and she knew what to do and did it!!!!!! She is amazing!
ALSO, Miss Trish and Miss Susan got her to drink from a cup!! I have not been so successful but she did it for them!!! She is eating with a boy about her age named Eric and she watches everything he does and he was drinking from a cup. She observes, then she does, when she is ready. They also got her to tolerate a lollipop! He also "talks" like she does and she watched him talk with his sitter. You can sometimes see the wheels turning. They seem to be on the same page developmentally, so it is interesting to watch!
Most days it seems like I don't get much done because cleaning has to come between feeding and playing with Gracie and sometimes feeding takes up more time than you would think but that is what I am here for and Chris will just have to deal with it.
Oh and why do all the challenging things with Grace happen when he is out of town. When my niece, Savannah, stayed over last sunday, she started her thing with undressing in bed and we had to redress her 5 or 6 times. Let's just say Chris' patience started to run out by the third try and he was conveniently out of town the rest of the time! But I got rewarded with the HUGE smile when I praised her to the sky for going on the potty. I guess that's a fair trade off!

This picture was taken before she figured out how to get out of he PJS without unzipping them.!
