All Getting Better

We are all getting better, finally.  I was blessed by Heavenly Father to not go through what Grace and Daddy did.  We all have been able to eat more food, but really, not much.  I was finally hungry enough to try something off the typical stomach flu diet and made chicken brother with noodles and an egg.  It was SO GOOD!  Grace even had some, and we were able to keep it down, with no stomach pains or sickness feeling after eating it.  Daddy was able to have a granola bar and some peanuts, but he's still being careful with what he eats and drinks so that nothing comes back to make him sick again.

We all spent some time outside today and it was so refreshing!!  Grace played in her new water/sand table that Daddy got her while he worked on trying to push a pipe under the driveway so he could run our internet cable under the driveway.  I was coloring with chalk while Grace stripped down to her diaper and poured water all over my drawings and then sat in the chalk running in the water.  It was so funny!  I thick we were out there for about an hour but I got so tired that we came in and watched Nanny McPhee.  It was Grace's first time Grace watched it, and she was a bit bored with it. :)  

 Our cute girl watching Nanny McPhee!!

Grace went to bed at 6:45 pm today.  She didn't take a nap and was SO tired that after I took a small walk with her, sat with her in her room and read to her and then talked about a dream she could have, she was tucked into bed and she went right to sleep!  Our dream talk was pretty cute :)

Me:  So what are you going to dream about tonight?

G: Horses

Me: What kind of horses?

G: Pink and purple horses!

Me:  Are you going to ride it?

G: Yes!  We go around and around on the horses.

Me: Where do we ride the horses?

G: At the park.

Me: The park with the splash park?

G: YEAH!!

Me: And then we say "hocus Pocus" and then we fly off into the sky with our horses!

G: YEAH!!  And we go around and around in the sky!

Me: And then we can go to the sun and say hello to the sun, and say "nice to meet you, Sun."  And after that we can go sit on the clouds and it will be so comfy.

G: YEAH!!  And it's going to be so soft and nice.  And they are in the sky.

Me: You are right!  And then when Mr. Sunshine goes down the moon will come up and we can go sit on the moon and we can shake his hand and say...

G: Nice to meet you, Moon.

Me: Yeah!  Good job!  And when we are all done and it's night time, then we go fly to the stars and find a star to sleep on.

G: And then it's night night time. 

Me: You are right.  So let's brush your teeth and get you tucked in, ok?  And then you can close your eyes, think of your dream and then you can sleep and have a good night!

G: Ok :)  Love you!

And then it was bedtime!
