The Patriots win again!!!

I don't really have anything to say in this post regarding the Pats victory yesterday... I just felt like announcing it to the world. So I'll say it again... 'The Patriots win!!' Yipee!!

Okay... so on to Grace. Poor kiddo had a tough weekend. She takes forever to cut teeth. She has been teething on and off for what feels like forever. My usually happy go lucky kid simply could not cope. She had her first temper tantrum during her swim lesson on Saturday. Oh believe you me, we stayed and worked through it. In the end she did well and has continued to improved a bit each week. Bri played 36 holes on Saturday so it was just us girls for the day. Since Grace was not the happiest of campers we spent a lot of the day playing quietly with Teddy & Teddy (She has not named her bears yet) and had a picnic lunch on the living room floor. We made forts with blankets and pillows and managed to get through the day with out too many tears.

Sunday we had... well Dad-dee had a few projects, we finally hung the swag in Grace's room. I am ashamed to admit that a close family friend made it and sent it back in January, but the task has simply felt too daunting until now... It's beautiful. It softens the room and even with butterflies on the wall and hand and foot prints hung with pink ribbons, it finally makes Grace's room look like a little girl lives there.

Today is all about confinement... Brian and I had to purchase a gate system that closes off our 14 foot opening that divides our great room. Grace has been allowed to play in the kitchen cabinets with only the sink childproofed... but she has now smashed the glass pitcher to our blender and is opening the oven door, so it is time to set some boundaries. We figured better now then when the baby comes so that she doesn't resent the little one any more than she already might.... So we will install the gate today and see how she takes it... my guess... not well, at least at first.
