Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

Grace wakes up well before the rest of us, and so we have asked her to play in her room until we come and get her (or until 7:00, whichever comes first). She has been very good about this, and usually does artwork or plays with Poppy until she is liberated from her room. This morning, she promptly read me a story she had written:

"Gracie M.

Gracie woke up one day, went downstairs, watched some TV and more and more. Then she said, 'Daddy, can we go outside?' and Daddy said, 'Sure, but let's get dressed first.' Then they threw snowballs and went snowshoeing in the woods. Then they laid down and catched snowflakes on their tongues. Then she came in and said, 'Mommy, can I have some hot chocolate?' and Mommy said, 'Sure.' And then she took a shower with her Mommy and then she played and played, and played and played. And she played and played again. The end."
