The Sun and Sand

I have been trying to find things that can entertain Gracie when I am unable to tend to her needs. She is still a child who likes to be with her mommy at all times, and would like my undivided attention, but she recognizes that can't happen anymore. Therefore, she has been struggling to stay entertained at moments. Last weekend we bought a small pool at Wal-Mart a and filled it with sand. You would think we had given her a new bike. She is absolutely thrilled with it and has had so much fun already digging in her sand. The neighbor kids have been over to help her break it in.
