Gracee's 2 year lessons...

Has it really been two years since I pushed a baby out of my body (took three hours) and met her for the first time? It’s amazing to think that she is already grown up to be such a smart little girl and continues to learn new words each day. Her two year lessons…

Gracee is teaching us what it is like to be parents of a princess. Boys and Girls are different – no matter what you hear as babies, toddlers, and then on to children… they are different. Gracee is much more demanding then Jared ever was and she still has trouble with the 1… 2… 3… time out concept.

Gracee is getting so big -- She is already 29lbs and 35.5 inches tall.

Gracee likes to talk – still has tons of help from her big brother but for the most part she says what she wants… it gets clearer each day.

Gracee is now in daycare on Tuesdays and it has made a difference in her attitude when around other little people. She has always done well in the nursery at church but that is only a 30 minute time span. She goes to daycare from 9-5.

Gracee is still working on potty training. She gets two m & m’s when she goes in the potty and she loves it! She always gives one to her bubby! Going potty isn’t that hard its poo that she likes to run and hide then tell you to get it off when she is done.

Gracee is a good eater… now that we got past the two year molars. She will try just about anything. Some days she eats like a horse others she is more like a bird but she still loves her fruit and veggies. Hasn’t had a sippy-cup for over a month and loves red gatorade.

Gracee is a tom-boy. She isn’t into dresses very much anymore unless they are made out of t-shirt material and then takes it off right after church. She would rather wear her ‘working clothes’ and play in the dirt with her brother.

Gracee still likes to play with babies and I think she does a great job… feeding them, changing them, and singing night-night songs. She is going to be a great big sister.

I feel like I could go on for days but these are just the main points I could muster up while the kids play with daddy after dinner. Gracee is a wonderful little girl – we have been blessed in so many ways from all the new things she teaches us each day.
