Now what?

Okay, so I started this because I felt like the entire technology world was passing me by. Also, because I feel more than just a little bit guilty that the dozens or so beautiful journals I've been given over the years have gone to complete and utter waste.

But I also wanted to do this because I have mom guilt over the lack of details I have for Gracie. Fun tidbits she's done or told me that I can never remember to put into her still blank baby book. Maybe - just maybe this will assuage some of that guilt.

For today, I will say that it was a fairly ordinary day. Gracie was in a pretty good mood this morning when I dropped her at daycare. This makes leaving her just a little bit easier in the AM which is a good thing.

Oh, and there's hope that she's learning just a smidge of manners after all this time. Last night at dinner, when she was done, she actually asked to be excused without me prompting her. Of course, her good humor came at the price of one shortbread cookie which I was still wiping from her lips when she posed the question. But I guess I need to learn to be grateful for the small things. Especially when, at 2.5 years, she's only willing to give on so much.

But nothing gives Luis and I more entertainment and sheer love than our daughter - and in the end, I guess that's what counts the most.
