Day 3 & Day 4

I missed Grace's 3rd day of school while I was at orientation but I heard she did well with her sweet speech teacher, Faith. I'm glad Faith knew Grace because as I'm texting her some helpful hints for school, I realize I'm saying slightly ominous things like "if she pulls your hair" or "if she runs away..." But all's well that ends well, Grace got to use her Dynavox at school and it was supposed to be pretty cool to see her communicate through it. 

I think this is the same model that Grace uses?

My 4th day with Grace was largely uneventful. There was a little bit of casual hair pulling, more like Grace was thinking "I'm bored so let's yank some hair" but thankfully, my high buns and tight braids have served me well. She did extremely well in chapel, where Mrs. Jane read Rainbow Fish and the Big Blue Whale. Grace, who usually sits next to me or on my lap, alternated between sitting and laying on the floor listening to the book all by herself.

In class, we read the original Rainbow Fish book and Grace got to play with Mrs. Jones' rainbow fish puppet and make a fish of her own. 

While working with Faith the previous day, Mrs. Nancy and Mrs. Valerie figured out that a great way to keep Grace occupied was to play music and give her some of the instruments. So we gave Grace tambourines and jingle bells and let the fun ensue. 

2 lunchboxes and an elmo book, it doesn't get much better than that!

Every time she catches me taking a picture of her,
I get this slightly dirty look

Jammin' in class, she wouldn't let me have anything to play with
