What Grace Likes These Days

Other than playing in the rain, Grace has lots of favorite things these days -- playing with Mr. Potato Head ("P Head" or "Pato Head"), singing and doing the motions to The Wheels on the Bus, splashing with water and soap bubbles in the bath or in the sink, and putting pretty much anything on her head and announcing, "Hat!" She also likes

pretty flowers



helping me bake cookies
(she knows the routine -- first we put our aprons on, then I pull over a chair and put her on it, then apparently I always say, "We need...")





playing in the sand




a trip to starbucks



spraying herself in the face

This is a girl who loves life and laughs a lot. And although there's the occasional defiance (followed by her saying, "Obey") and we're working on curbing her whiny moments, we're also laughing a lot and enjoying this stage of her life.
