Gracie got this car for her birthday and has had a lot of fun playing with it. She has also been really good at sharing it with Sissy. Sissy loves this car.

It has become quite a struggle to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep. We are experiencing too many evenings of Gracie crying because she is up too late and can't fall asleep. Last nig...
