This morning Grace achieved a long time goal. She has been working on this for a while, but has never quite succeeded in all her attempts so far.

I was getting ready this morning, shaving, washing my face, etc. with Eli sitting with me asking questions about shaving. I finished up and he was still talking to me as I was walking out of the bathroom. Grace had closed her door so the passage was dark. As I came out of the bathroom, something jumped out of the closet and cried, “Boo!” which gave me quite an unexpected shock.

Grace had finally done it! She managed to give me a fright by being sneaky and jumping out at me.

For a long time she has been trying to give me a fright, but stomping around and saying, “Boo!” just doesn’t work. This morning she figured it out, and I’m quite proud of her for it.
