Grace Wants a Diamond!

A cute Grace moment to share . . . so first of all she has been sick since last Sunday with Hand Foot & Mouth Disease. It has been awful, the whole inside of her mouth has been covered in open sores, she hasn't been able to eat or sleep and I am not exaggerating when I say this - has cried all day (Monday afternoon, all day Tuesday and Wednesday and most of Thursday)! It has been rough on both of us. She started to perk up a little last night and then slept all night and has felt really good today (now Jonas has it)! Anyway she has been cheerful and so cute today - nice to have her back. So just a bit ago she came in the kitchen and was holding my wedding ring - here's the conversation:

Grace: Mom do you want your diamond?
Me: Yes, thanks, but I would rather you not pick up my rings they could get lost.
Grace: OK, but I want a diamond!
Me: When you get married you will get one, Daddy gave me this when we got married.
Grace: Why can't Daddy give me one?
Me: Because Daddy already gave one to Mommy to get married, when you are grown up you have to find someone to marry, and then it will be his job to get you a diamond.
Grace: Well it better be a BIG one!!!

Apparently money may be able to buy Grace's love! She is so funny! Anyway that little interaction made my day!

How cute! So glad she is feeling, but sorry to hear that she and now Jonas are sick. No fun being a mom sometimes. Hope Audrey's doing better too!
