Gracie's Friend

Gracie's new favorite song is No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. The other day she sang, "No more Ryan on Mommy's lap!" in Gracie speech. We have a very nice woman come and work with her on speech every Wednesday at 4:00. We call her "Gracie's friend". It is heavenly. She comes with toy bins, sits on the livingroom floor and gives her one-on-one (with siblings sitting around watching), while I can make dinner, clean or take care of another child. Then, at 5:00, she packs up and Gracie and I stand at the door. Gracie waves and yells, "bye friend" about 10 or so times and we return to normal life.
