gracie lately


Grace loves:
  • dancing
  • sharing a room with her brother
  • coloring a dozen pictures a day
  • cheese
  • doing cannon balls into the pool
  • Scooby-Doo mysteries and America's Funniest Home Videos
  • drawing treasure/adventure/explorer maps
  • her preschool
  • giving talks in Primary
  • tea parties in the back yard
  • her many stuffed animals

Grace is extremely patient with Eden. She asks to hold the baby quite a lot, and will rock her and sing to her even when she is screaming. Gracie has been a huge help to me in so many ways. As I'm not as free to run and do for Grant as much as he was used to, I can count on Grace to pick up the slack.

I take for granted her almost perpetual happiness. She is very positive and has more than her fair share of confidence. I love watching her play with her friends. It is a treat being the mommy of this 5-year-old (99% of the time).

I think I really like this girl of yours - it's crazy that she's 5 already; I remember when she was just a baby.

The picture of her holding Eden is adorable! Having slightly older kids with each new baby always makes such a difference to me.
