Donné took some strawberries out for dessert for Grace, and there were fewer than she expected to find. We’ve been working on getting Grace to ask before raiding the fridge and she really has gotten quite good about asking before taking something to eat (it all started back when she pillaged a punnet of raspberries).

Donné says to Grace, “Grace, did you eat the strawberries without asking?”

And Grace replies, “I was desperately hungry and you were in the room with Eli.”

Ahhh, my girl, if that is how hungry you were it’s okay.

Speaking of “Ahhh,” it seems to be one of Graces catch-phrases at the moment:

“Can I have an apple?” “No, Grace, it’s nearly supper time,” “Ahhh!”

“Oh no, I broke it…..ahhh”

“Ahhh….I fell off my bouncy ball!”
