Once again I started a post and never actually published it. So this is from back in September.
This summer, David and I took Graceyn to see her first theater movie…Winnie the Pooh. When my dad asked her what we were going to see she said, “Pinnie the…Pinnie the Wooh??” like she knew she had it wrong but couldn’t quite get the words out 
While we were on a walk together one day she told me that she wanted to be a police officer when she grows up. A few days later we were running by the river and she saw someone fishing. She said she’d really like to go fishing one day so I told her that I was sure daddy and Josh would take her when she got older. “But mommy, I want to be a police officer when I get older!” She was very surprised and excited to hear that she could do BOTH
David just got back from NY where he was helping with relief efforts from the flood. Before he left, we were talking with Graceyn and preparing her for daddy leaving again (he’d just gotten back from Japan a week before he was heading back out). She wanted to make sure he was going to be safe and asked lots of “good” questions but our favorite was, “Daddy do they have grocery stores in New York?” And when she found out that they do indeed have grocery stores there she asked, “Can you bring me suckers?” Daddy had started a trend I guess because, on his first trip to Japan back in April, remembering our girl’s love for suckers, he brought her back some special suckers from Japan…and now the tradition has stuck!
This morning she saw me fixing breakfast and informed me that she’d “rather not eat breakfast” because her tummy was hurting.
