The day after Thanksgiving. We went to Marcus yesterday and spent time with my extended family. Michelle is taking the girls to Carroll today to spend the weekend with her family (while I'm away with our basketball team).
Grace is doing well. She has a Christmas concert coming up next week. She's reading and writing more words all the time--right now she's sitting next to me writing the word "tangled" next to a drawing. Not sure why, but I'm sure there is a reason.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Saturday morning in the Nelson house. Claire is running all over the house leaving a wake of destruction in her path. Grace is sitting here at the kitchen table with me making crafts. She has been really into drawing and making crafts these past few months. Currently she's making a "Touch-Read System" which I think is a toy she saw on TV and in a store. All I know is that the scissors and many pieces of tape are involved.
Grace is wearing her new glasses this morning. They're purple with butterflies on the sides of the rims. We got them to protect her eyes, which she had severely poked three times since school started. We'll try them for a while, so far she doesn't seem to mind them. They definitely make her look very mature.
Grace has a Christmas concert coming up at school in a few weeks. Sounds as though they'll be doing a number of the classics as well as some new ones, such as "Polar Puppy". At least that's the one Grace has been singing around the house a lot lately.
Grace's Christmas wish list grows with each new day and more importantly each commercial on the Disney Channel. Advertising really does work.

November 5, 2011
Friday, and Grace has the day off from school because of parent teacher conferences. We had her conference on Tuesday, and it went very well. Her teacher told us that she's the best reader in the class, and she's doing very well socially. She is very good at listening to directions, but if there is one thing she needs to work on, it's that she sometimes talks too much. We weren't surprised by that.
We are looking into getting eyeglasses for Grace. She has gotten poked in the eye three times in the last couple months, and each time it's been awful for the next few days. So the glasses will be for protective purposes. We'll see how that goes.
