The World According to Grace

File this under "Why the oldest child always wins:"

Grace is collecting the playing cards that were strewn around the family room floor. She has about 20 in her hands when Natalie finds two and picks them up. Grace makes a bee-line for Natalie, ripping them from the younger sister's fingers. Natalie screams. Grandpa Chuck asks, "Grace! What are you doing?" Grace's reply? "I'm teaching Natalie to give me things." Way to use your 20 month advantage.


File this under "Home improvement:"

Scott takes Grace to the bathroom during dinner and she gets spaghetti sauce on the door frame. After Scott asks her to not touch the door frame with dirty hands, Grace apologizes. Scott: "Oh, you don't need to say you're sorry. I'm just trying to make things better." Grace thinks for a minute, and then says nonchalantly, "I would put art on that wall above the light switch. That would make it better."

Of course, her talent will only develop over time. Watch for impromptu bedroom color changes and a fashion make-over for mom's wardrobe. I see... pink!
