The Princess Grace's Day

Hmmm, what a day my little princess has had today. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself! Well, then again, just about anything can happen at Grandma's and Grandpa's.

7am: her highness awakens, is carried into the bed by Grandpa where she falls back asleep. Gracie tosses and turns a bit as she and Grandpa keep disturbing each other with their snoring (I am told this by Grandma).

9am: Gracie awakens again, this time to watch TV in bed.

10am: We go to a breakfast buffet. (Yes, we skipped church, but I think the grandparents try to squeeze in every minute with her!) At said breakfast buffet Gracie eats pancakes, hash browned potatoes, eggs with cheese and honeydew melon. Then, she is allowed to play with the unopened creamers for Grandpa's coffee. She is content to stack them until Grandpa starts throwing them in the air.

11am: Gracie wants to play water. The baby pool is filled with warm water from the tap and the sun umbrella is moved to completely cover her body so it won't be tainted by the sun.

Noon-1:30pm: She alternates-water, swing, sandbox with Grandma and Grandpa

1:30-2:45: She fights her mommy to take a nap

5pm!: The princess Grace awakens from her nap and returns to the outdoors where she plays more in the water, sand and swing and now bubbles.

7pm: She is completely in the water, which has cooled off a bit now, so I am commanded by the Queen (grandma) to put warm water from the tap to make sure she doesn't get too cool. Since she is already in there, I decided to put in some baby bath. So, Gracie got a warm outdoor spa bath treatment this evening!

8pm: She is toweled and re-dressed, and watching Sprout's "Goodnight Show." Mom and Dad got Direct TV last month, and boy is it awesome--plenty of kids programming!

8:30pm: Gracie decides she is hungry! She gets a warm bowl of Dora soup and apple slices while in her pajamas!

9pm: She is finally in bed!

What a day. When is the last time you got such a pampered day? I know I can't remember ever getting that kind of service. These people sure weren't my parents!
