Elmo, Attitude, & Gracie

I am so sorry for not posting last weekend, I really have no excuse other then I just didn’t do it! :)  However, we haven’t been doing all that much anyway, so nothing really to update you on.

Last Saturday we took Gracie to see Elmo.  A place on post sponsors this program that encourages family to work through deployments in a positive way.  It is really great and fun for the kids.  Most of the favorites from Sesame Street come out, Elmo, Zoey, Rosetta, Cookie Monster, Grover (or as Gracie would say Yovger).  She has a good time even though she took a small tumble off the seat and bumped her head.  After a small freak out, she was all smiles again!

The one new thing lately is Lil’ Miss Gracie’s attitude.  She is constantly saying “Nuh uh” “No Ma’am” and anything else associated with the word no.  I have to say, I don’t like it but I keep telling myself that it is a phase and at some point she will understand that it isn’t nice.  Although, it is really cute when she tells Harley and Daisy to behave.  In retrospect, it really isn’t that bad, but my sweet little girl has a little bit of an attitude…ahhh those terrible two’s you gotta love them.  The three’s get better right?

Gracie is officially no longer allergic to bananas.  We took her to the doctor last week to complete the paperwork for the CDC so she can join her classmates in all the banana yumminess.  At her appointment, she weighed in at 30 pounds and 3 feet tall! I told you she was getting big!  Her new favorite thing to do is cover your mouth if she doesn’t like what you are saying.  I was singing a song and she came over to tell me “No song, my song!”  I guess I have been told right?   She cracks us up on a daily basis!

I am hoping to go and do some pictures this weekend but my camera is on it’s last leg.  When you take as many pictures as I do, you will understand.  I have been promised my “dream” starter camera for Christmas but I am going to have to break down and buy another point and shoot here soon.  Hopefully I will have another month left on my camera! :)  Enjoy your Friday, I am so glad it’s hear!!!
