Just The Two Of Us

..plus a few more.

Gracie and I had the surprise pleasure of spending the past two days together--just us. Emma stayed at home Monday and today with her daddy as he recoups from a sprained back.

Over the past 48 hours we have played a multitude of things including; My Little Pony, babies, play dough, and peak-a-blocks. I do miss the one on one time I had with Gracie, and though I have had a wonderful time with both girls, I will be ready to concentrate on Gracie again.

I snapped this picture as Gracie put her babies down tonight for another nap (they sure are fussy babies!). She had already named the one with the pacifier "Baby Kate" after the Arthur series, and the Cabbage Patch doll came with the name Cecelia Rose, but the other two dolls weren't named. I asked her what we should call them. She had multi-vowel, multi-consonant names, so the best I could come up with out of what she said were "Samantha," and "Patsy." Thus...

Gracie Shipley is proud to present her babies:
Baby Kate
Cecelia Rose
Samantha
Patsy

Emma's last day with us will be August 30th. We will miss her, but she is ready for day care and this will give her mommy and daddy more time with their little one as well. I am so glad things all worked out. I was there when Kathy and Emma needed me, and now I feel like I helped prepare Emma for the socialization she will need in daycare.
