Good Times

The last two days have been great. The weather has been just gorgeous. Yesterday, after getting a good nights rest, Grace and I decided to go 'check out' toddler story time at our local library yesterday morning. It was great. They read some books to them and sang some songs, played music, and let them dance and even make a craft at the end. This is all FREE. :) In the month of March, they are doing color themed weeks. Yesterday was the color yellow. They encourage you to dress your child in something of the color, or bring snacks, etc. in that color. Most everything was about colors yesterday from the stories, to the songs, to the crafts, etc. Mostly about the color yellow. At the end I helped Grace make a yellow daffodil (craft) to bring home. They stamped her hand with a sun when we were walking out the door and she just LOVED that. She has never seen (ink) stamps before. She really liked it but spent most of the time just looking around the room at all the other kids and watching what they did since this was her first time. We will definitely go back.

Grace has also been doing better on her naps and sleeping in general the last 2 days and nights. She still wakes up once during the night but has went back to sleep but she still wants us to stay with her until she goes to sleep. She acts scared to go to sleep on her own now. Hopefully, she will soon learn and trust being able to go to sleep on her own.

Yesterday, after her nap, we went for a walk through the neighborhood. We came home and our neighbors little boy was outside playing with his grandmother. Grace just HAD to go see him and play with him so we went over for just a bit. They chased each other around the yard and Grace just got so tickled at him. He was being very silly and hyper. He is around 3 1/2. I told my neighbor today, that we are DEFINITELY going to have to get our kiddos together more often to play!!

Last night, I experimented and improvised on our Supper. We didn't have everything I needed for a homemade pizza but I kind of made my own sauce and did different cheeses than normal. It ended up turning out very good and Grace gobbled it right up too. Which is always a plus!:) I think she liked it even more because she 'helped' me put the toppings on the pizza and other things. I LOVE my little helper!:)
