ALL about Grace.



I can't get enough of this sassy little 2 year old. Well, I guess that's kind of a lie.... sometimes she's a bit much... but we get through our rough times. She can be very, very stubborn. I'm learning different ways to encourage her to make good choices and obey her mom and dad. Her favorite thing is being with her sister. When Grace walks into the room, Lucy's face just lights up. They have their own special way of communication and it is such a great privilege to watch these two bond.
Some funny Graceism's:

While feeding Lucy her dinner..... "Bite! Mmmmmmm Lucy, is it good?"
"Lucy! You see this burn on my hand? You SEE it?! Owie, it hurts. It buuuurns!"
She loves to read Lucy stories and take care of her. She tries to change her diaper and get her into the bath (both scary things). Really, I have to keep a close eye on Grace because she loves her sister so much she almost hurts her sometimes.

I really try to be patient with Grace and to just love her. I've prayed and thought a lot about how to raise her, and the answer I continue to get is to "just love her". I realize that she needs a lot of my attention and that is hard right now while I trudge through my senior year of college while raising these two little ones, basically alone. BUT it's such an honor to be their mother. I'm grateful for my sweet Grace.
