*seeing the girls looking at a costume magazine on the couch together on the couch

*two preschool mornings with no crying beforehand

*watching Gracie run into her classroom, find her name, and put it in the pocketchart

*singing to Madelyn on the couch

*the fact that Gracie wanted me to say 4 prayers for her on the way to preschool

*Madelyn has a favorite baby doll named Lucy. Gracie has one just like it named Caroline. Instead of calling her Caroline, Madelyn calls her "Gracie's Lucy". It is so cute.
