Telling Stories

I love that Grace is starting to tell stories about things she's done and recount experiences that she's had. She has a pretty good memory!

We live near a railway museum. We drive by it all the time, and Grace always points out the trains - "Trains! Another one! Choo choo!" About 2 weeks ago Uncle Johnny and I took Grace up to the museum and we went in one of the train cars. Grace thought it was pretty cool! We also had ice cream at the little ice cream stand beside the museum.
About 5 days later, as we were driving by the museum, Grace said "Trains! Johnny, ice cream! Yummy!"

We went to watch B play baseball the other week, and there was another little girl there a few months older than Grace. Her name is Abigail and she shared her toys with Grace, and they played together for a while. The following week when we got to the ball field for B's game, Grace started calling "Abigail! Where is she? Shobel!" (Abigail had a bucket and shovel that Grace used to play in the dirt). Unfortunately Abigail wasn't there and we didn't really bring any toys, but Grace still had a good time watching the game!

And, of course, she still hasn't forgotten the horses pooping on the road during the parade we saw at the beginning of August. Any time we see a horse or a picture of one she says "Horsie! Pooped!" and giggles.
