Domestic Diva

Grace finally got her playhouse on Saturday morning before we left for the waterpark. Kyle put it together on Friday night and right before Grace went to bed she got a glimpse of the house parts on the lower deck. She immediately said, "house!" but I have no idea how she knew what it was. We scooped her up and put her to bed so she would be surprised on her birthday morning.

In the first video, you can see that as soon as we opened the door to the deck, Grace ran for the stairs. Maybe she remembered the house was downstairs? Kyle called her back and when she saw it through the railing she was SO excited! She almost started to cry because she couldn't get to it fast enough.


The second video picks up when Grace got to the bottom of the steps. It almost looks like she can't believe this cool house could be hers. She played in it for about 1/2 hour before we left to go to Great Wolf and it was hard to get her to go! She discovered the doorbell right away and it still seems to be her favorite feature a few days later! Mostly, Grace liked going in an out, opening the door and windows, and ringing the doorbell.


I think we are going to get some flowers for the front porch and some more play food and plates to keep outside in her house.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Grace;I love your house. Your house reminds of the house your cousins, Connor and Ryan, had in New Jersey. There is a photo with your great grandmother, Nanny Rose, looking out of the window. I am going to look for it. Maybe Nana can show it to you soon.
Love you.
Nana

Grace, how fun, your very own house. I think I will come and visit you and stay in your house. I will have to shrink a bit.
