Darling Grace

Grace is 20 months now! I can not believe how much has happened in such a short time! Grace has such a fun, busy, trying personality. She likes to dress herself, but still requires help and that frustrates her. In this picture she is sporting a hair elastic as a bracelet, her daddy's watch on her elbow, one sock on and it is far too little and mommy's big necklace. She also is holding her toothbrush and is standing at the front door, ready to go to Grandma Kate's. She insists on putting her own socks and shoes on, so anytime we have to go somewhere that takes an extra 5 minutes.
The other day she made me laugh so hard, I was in the living room and I heard the bathroom door close. Well Grace loves to unroll the toilet paper, and I hate it! It drives me crazy. So I run to the bathroom and open the door, only to find out she had pulled open the drawer and locked herself in the bathroom. She laughed and laughed and laughed as I tried to get her to close the drawer. I remember doing that when I was a kid to hide from my brother, but she is still so little, she shouldn't know how to tease her mommy yet!
Gracie stayed at Grandma Ruth's for the past couple days while I was on an overnight work retreat in Bear Lake. When I came home at first she was like no big deal, but then tonight all she wanted to do was cuddle with me. Grace never sits still long enough to cuddle, so I loved it!
