My Grace

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago my little Gracie pants was born. Time has gone by way too fast! She's such a big girl now. She talks nonstop, even to complete strangers. She is daring, and has very little fear. Her favorite thing to do is play with her big sister. Everyday she asks me if we can go pick up Claire from school, starting at 9am. She is just so eager for her to come home and play with her.

Grace is also my most stubborn child. When she gets something in her head, it's very difficult to change her mind. Instead of whining, mostly she will just yell...really loud. It's almost a growl at times. This stubbornness has made potty training super frustrating for me. On days that she feels like it, she can do it. It's just a matter of hoping that she will feel like it more often than not. :)

Grace is also very sweet. She loves her siblings so much, and will often help me take care of the baby. She likes to tickle him, and dangle toys inches from his face. It's pretty funny to watch actually. She's become quite motherly, and I can see that poor Neil will have 3 mothers to deal with soon enough.

I'm so glad to have Grace! The last 3 years have been so fun to watch her little personality grow. I also think she has become a very pretty little girl. Her smile is contagious, and she has gorgeous eyes. Happy Birthday my little Gracie-pants!

For her party, we invited over our family and had pizza, cake, and ice-cream. Grace really wanted a rainbow cake, so we made it ourselves. She helped with everything! Let me just say, it was really hard to make the red frosting. I used all of the food coloring, and it still was pretty pink. Oh, well. She liked it a lot! She had a hard time blowing out the candles, but Claire was willing to step in and help her out. Grace got lots of fun presents including: coloring books, buzz lightyear, zhu zhu pet, vtech laptop, toy story legos, a tea set, cool clothes, new undies, and stickers. Overall, she had a great time!
