Friday Night Leftovers

• We've been going to a parent/baby drop-in group once a week. Grace really enjoys it and it's great for us to connect with some other mom's in our community since we moved. There are usually two girls there that are a bit younger than Grace but she prefers to play with the 4 year old boy and loves doing whatever he does!
• We had some thunder and lightning last week. The first boom of thunder caused Grace to come running towards me, but then we had fun waiting for the next big bang!
• I went to Babies R Us to get a gift for a friend's baby shower. For the first time, Grace absolutely refused to get in the cart. She usually loves the shopping cart! 
• After she screamed, arched her back and kicked while I tried to put her in, she agreed to sit in the big part of the cart. 
• After a few times of me telling her to sit on her bum when she kept trying to stand up in the cart, she sat down and hit her chin on the side. 
• She ended up pushing the cart. 
• She was happy as a clam pushing the cart around, we got what we needed, and there was no big fuss about leaving the store so I guess it all worked out. 
• Happy Birthday Uncle Mike and Uncle Johnny! We'll be celebrating with them next week!
• Head over here for more leftovers.
