Gracie

Growing up with an older brother, Gracie Lou learned quickly how to manipulate others with her cuteness. She can be quite devilish with ultimate side-eye, but will follow up her antics with the sweetest and biggest hug, matched with an endearing “I love you.” Don’t let her little stature fool you, she is a pint-size princess ready to take on the world. She will gladly jump in the mud or wrestle a worthy opponent while wearing a tutu! She believes in independently tackling all challenges.

Gracie loves to participate in gymnastics, in class, in the house, or anywhere. We joke that she has an inner ninja warrior. Many compliment and comment on her advanced gross motor skills and determination, which is a blessing and a curse for any parent. Gracie loves to do anything that the older cousins and kids are doing. Don’t tell her she is too little or she can’t do something! She will use your pessimism and negativity as a springboard to success. Gracie Lou also has a love for animals.

Our dream is to move into a home that can support the spirited development of our children. We value gross and fine motor play with imagination, over technology. Our current home is tiny. Gracie’s father is a disabled veteran who works from home. Our once dining area is now a little work room for Dad and our tight garage space is now a playroom. We have no room for a full kitchen table and have been doing our best to make it work. Mom is a teacher with a long commute.
