Day three

Gracie is doing well. She has been enjoying all the toys we brought for her. She has moved her continual affection onto a TY panda that I got at the apple and arts festival. Last night on the way home from dinner she left holding my hand and asked Chris to pick her up. Big step. Today we walked through a park across the street from our hotel. Very big, leafy, hilly, expansive park. We played at a playground for awhile and she basically wanted to ride the rocking spring toys for the whole time. She wanted us on with her as well. She would have done that for hours I think. As it was, we were there for probably 45minutes.

She seems to be a bright kid, sometimes deliberately naughty. We are working on that, but trying to be as lenient as we can, without encouraging her bad behavior and all the while trying to teach her appropriate behavior. This seems to happen mostly when she is tired.

She likes to be held and is a fashion queen, loving her clothes and her purse. She does not like things in her hair, however. She is alternately a 5 year old, a 3 year old, and a toddler in her behavior. We have her medical appointment at 3 today. Hoping that goes well and she is not too scared.

We can't wait to see what she is like when we get her home with the boys and on our regular schedule.

Love to all. Thanks for your prayers and support.
