Last night was Grandma and Papa night with Miss B. ( Jess has a night class) We love to read together and last night....SHE read to ME.. I was amazed, If she didn't know a word by sight, she sounded it out. I think her skills have been heightened by the past few years of speech therapy. Her therapist, Angela has been sounding and blending words with her since she began. She even told me last night that when you see PH together it's the fffff sound...I know, brag was a good ole dog!! Anyway, Papa and B have a game they play she's dubbed, "Flashlight Hunters". They turn off all the lights, grab their flashlights and hunt for treasure. So, Papa's "bring home vacation gift" was a package set of a small flashlight and a headband with a miner style headlamp... it's light can be red or white. I'm not quite sure what the treasure is they're hunting for... I'm thinking it would be way different for a 60 yr. old than for a 4 yr. old. Soon, I may end up hiding some candy...........and some scotch:-)
Speaking of grands.. here's my new, very favorite story!
GrandmasI was out walking with my Grandson.
He picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth.
I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that. "'Why?" my Grandson asked.
"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.
At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
I was thinking quickly and said to him, "all Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.
"Oh....I get it! he beamed, So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa".
"Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.
