Gracie's Little Secret

We are planning a trip to Idaho. We will be meeting my sister from Oregon there. Grace is so excited to see Noah, but she doesn't want to "be patient!" She has come up with a few tactics to try and get us to Noah sooner.

Tactic #1: Two weeks before going, announce that you will be waiting in the car until we go see Noah.

Tactic #2: Call Noah and cry hysterically about how long it is taking (at least we think that's what she was doing, we couldn't really understand her)

Tactic #3: Obsessively talk about what you will do when you see Noah. They will be swimming, going to McDonald's, sliding on a green slide, playing cars and going to the zoo. At the zoo they will see the GIANT animals and the snakes.

Tactic #4: Find a blankey to give to Noah and pack it for the trip

Tactic #5: Begin finding and packing your own clothes

But my personal favorite is the one she did this afternoon:
Tactic #6: Find your swim suit. Put it on. Find your swim hat. Put it on. Walk out the front door and head towards Noah!

Noah was wearing his swimmies around the house the other day in preparation for swimming with Gracie. He keeps asking me, "Go see the girls today, mom?" And I say no, in a couple days. And then he says, "After dinner?" These poor kids, we truly are TORTURING them!
