Singing On the Toilet
And other things I learned today
I spent an entire day with my granddaughters today. Well, it wasn’t technically a whole day. It was only nine and a half hours but to a grandpa that is almost equivalent to two whole days.
I am so exhausted!
The girls’ parents had meetings and work all day today so I had the two girls all to myself. I don’t consider it babysitting and the two girls don’t either. When I go over to their house I go to hang out with them. I’m not a babysitter. I’m their pal who plays and has fun with them. I always tell them that they are the boss, not me. (And they take that seriously.)
Today was a little different because among the many activities of the day there was a special birthday party. My youngest granddaughter turns 6 on Monday but she’ll be in kindergarten on Monday so I decided to throw her a special early birthday party; just her, her sister and me. My little Capricorn darling loved this because it meant that she gets two birthday parties this year.
But even before the special birthday party this afternoon I got to do something that I’ve only done once before. I got to make lunch for them!
Back when their mother (my daughter) was a girl I cooked about 99% of all the food she ever ate and her number one favorite food was egg rolls…
