After a busy birthday today was a relaxed recovery day. Grace and I took a walk to the beach this afternoon to fulfil her beach need, and while we were there some girls came onto the beach taking their dog for a walk. One of the girls was riding a bicycle (which Grace has been into lately). Grace looks at the girls and says to me, “Let’s go make a friend.”

We didn’t go and make those friends, but she did make some friends while going around and around on the merry-go-round.
