March 21, 2010

The end of a long weekend of watching basketball. Grace told me today that she only liked watching basketball when it's "real", meaning Briar Cliff games. Not that she actually watches those, but at least those games have a concessions stand and real life cheerleaders.

Grace and Michelle spent much of the weekend out of town for a baby shower for Michelle's younger sister. Grace had fun and was excited that she met a new friend. Grace is unbelievable at making new friends. I personally watched her make two "friends" within the span of a few hours last weekend. First in church she befriended the girl in the pew in front of us, mostly because Grace's princess dollies caught the girl's eye. After a few minutes of quiet play Grace whispered to the girl, "Do you want to be my friend?" And they were friends for the rest of the service. Then that night Grace went with me to watch the Briar Cliff women in the NAIA national tournament, and there the exact same thing occurred. By the second half some girl was sitting by us, the two were playing, and Grace had invited her over to our house to play sometime. We'll never see the girl again, but for that night it was all good. Shyness is definitely not a trait possessed by Grace.
