Snow Angel
What a difference a trip to grandma's makes!
Last week, I wasn't sure if Gracie and I were going to make it in the same house (one of us had to go!), and this week, she has been a perfect angel.
There was no school today because of yesterday's snow and last night's ice, so we are taking it slow here at home.
This morning I brought in several bowls full of snow and she got to play in it in the kitchen sink. She loves this activity, and since I still have the cough, it keeps me from having to go out in the very bitter temperatures that are outside. She used cups and spoons and her miniatures and made at least an hour of fun for herself.
We have also played school and worked on new words. She also helped me clean up her old baby carrier and car seat and now Lambie is getting plenty of good use out of it.
I seriously can't even tell you how wonderful she has been for the past three days. It has been such a relief as I have so much to do and very little time to do it. Plus, my body is so tired and I am struggling to move around and get to those things on my list, much less make extra time for crafts and activities.
And, I am truly grateful that this week has gone so well since the week (especially the first few days) after Grandma's house are always unbareable around here. She misses them so much and is so whiny and in the worst mood. Her renewed spirit may be from both extra sleep, and the fact that Grandma is coming to stay with her for a whole week in just 12 days. Yep, 12 more days!
