All In Two Weeks

It never fails.  It was such a busy week in the Cunningham household:

• Gracie started a new school
• We had a visitor
• FINALLY had the chance to get a early summer photo shoot in!!
• After all of that we got some much needed down time!

So, first off, Gracie finally got to start her new school.  She loves it!  I am so glad I made the decision to move her.  Especially after she acclimates herself to all of the new kids and teachers.  She already has gotten better about being dropped off.  We have less tears and the guilt trips have pretty much stopped. 

Aunt Joy or as Gracie calls her “Nica” came into town on Thursday.  It was a great weekend spending time together as a family.  Matt had duty while she was here, which kind of stunk.  However, it did give us ladies a good excuse to spend time together for a girl’s night!  Saturday, we did our photo shoot at the park.  Gracie was in the mood to take pictures and it hadn’t started getting to hot yet, so that was great!

The rest of the weekend, we all just spent time together and played with Gracie.  Gracie definitely keeps us entertained.  Let me in on some of the things that come out her mouth:

“Daddy, I am not playing with you!”  Meaning, I am done with how you are acting and your attitude.

“Daddy, what did I say?” Scolding her Daddy after he did not listen to her.

Matt was explaining to her the “no no” spot.  He told her that only Mommy and Daddy along with doctor’s at doctor appointments.  She informed Matt that cats and dogs have no no spots too.

She has also been spending a lot of time putting her babies into timeout again.  You can always tell when she spends more time there or at least gets a reminder that she she doesn’t use her listening ears, she has to go to time out…her poor babies suffer!

Gracie also when to the dentist for the first time and she did GREAT!  She sat there and let the dental assistant clean her teeth and the dentist count her teeth.  I had to take a HUGE mommy pill.  She wanted Daddy to go back with her and not me.  There was a sign saying only one parent at a time, so we gave her the choice.  I thought for sure she was pick me…talk about a reality check!  But in the long run, they let me go back too, so that was great.  I wasn’t allowed to take pictures but I did snap a secret one.  You can tell I was doing it fast because something happened during the capture and there is a line across it but either way, I documented it right!

Other then that, we have been going to work and enjoying the hot weather.  This next week the lowest it is supposed to be is 101.  Yeah, we are in triple digits for the next 7 days.  I am just glad we got our cooler fixed so it is nice in the house!  Here are some more pictures I have taken through out the last couple of weeks.  I promise to check in later on this week and not leaving you hanging again!
