Going to work w/ Mommy...

It's so cute, Grace has looked forward to going to work w/ me since last week - maybe longer! She has a doctors appointment w/ a pediatric dermatologist to look at the little skin tag on her leg. But the apt. is at 10:00 a.m. in Greenwood so for me right in the middle of the day. So I figured, she can come to work - bring the Leapster and some art supplies and she'll be good till then. I'll take lunch early and then Matt can take her back to Brenda's.

Grace had her little backpack all packed the night before -- too cute! And when I got up at the crack of dawn, she did good and got up and got ready too, and I'm talking early. We left the house by 5:30 a.m. I'm certain Grace isn't normally doing anything that early! So once we got to work Grace told me she was hungry so I took her over to the cafeteria where she picked out a bagel. She was excited to use the "fancy" toaster:-) She ate her bagel, my yogurt, then colored some... played her Leapster, wanted something else to eat! I've never seen her eat so much -- she had some baked chips out of the vending machine. Good thing her apt. was at 10:00 a.m. or I would have been broke just feeding her!!!

Grace had enough time to color a picture for all of my friends at work - she had tons of fun at Rob Dinkel's desk. Grace wanted stickers, Rob didn't have any - so he drew stickers for her on post-it notes! Can you tell he has a little girl too? Grace really liked him, go figure!

We left about 9:45 a.m. and met Matt at the doctors office. The doctor was super nice, you could tell she dealt w/ kids a lot. They came in w/ the dry ice and once we said we wanted it gone there was no sit tight while we go get what we are going to torture you w/ - they just did it right away. And Grace was a trouper. I know it hurt and she started to cry some, but they were fast and she was super tough. Mattie took her to get chicken nuggets (a treat!) on the way home. He said she complained about her leg the entire way to Brenda's. But when I called Brenda to check on her she said she didn't mention her leg at all. In fact, when all of her friends asked where she'd been she told them, "At McDonald's!" So no mention of the doctor at all.
