A busy winter continues at our house. Nothing new, but here are some updates on Grace over the past few weeks:
She's been obsessed with her teeth ever since a dentist visited her classroom last week. She's been to the actual dentist quite a few times, but apparently this dentist scared them with tales of cavities and other horrors. Thus we no longer have force Grace to brush her teeth, and she's probably brush them hourly if we let her. This morning at breakfast she asked me to re-explain to her what plaque is.
Also at breakfast this morning Grace explained to me that "It's a big responsibility to have a baby sister." Apparently she feels burdened by Claire, even though I'm not sure what Grace's actual responsibilities are (other than not running her over in her wheelchair). The fact that Grace can stop on a dime in her wheelchaire still doesn't make us feel any better when she veers dangerously close to Claire lying on her activity mat. Grace has also discovered that she gets some enjoyment out of grabbing the ropes on Claire's "Johnny Jumper" and pulling them as she backs away in her wheelchaire--sort of a swing concept. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but Claire hasn't complained too much. On the other hand Claire can't talk, and she does have a look of terror in her eyes when Grace grabs the ropes.
