05-26-23 The Wee Grands
First thing this morning I got a text from Danika asking if I would like to have Emmy tonight, so I rearranged my day and made it happen. I asked Sawyer to join as well. They play well together at 6 & 8. I had a client come for an assist on her books in the morning and then rushed off to meet another for a ‘pick my brain’ lunch at Family Thai. I didn’t make it back to the office until nearly 2 and had so much to do. I left at 5 to pick up Sawyer and we came home to find a deer in my yard. I hav no clue how it got there but it was easily chased out. Danika, Emmy and Gwen showed up just after we did and hung out for a pasta dinner. After Danika and Gwen left, Sawyer and Emmy played Wii Games and then asked to go outside. They play well together and are old enough not to worry about now. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it was already 8 pm and by the time I got them in a happy mood and in the house it was too late. Emmy was happy and got ready for bed but the second she sat on the bed, she began to cry for her Mom and wanted to be picked up RIGHT NOW! I was able to distract her with a call to her Dad and then counting things in the room and a calm voice. I did have to move Sawyer to my room listening to Pirate Stories while I asked Emmy all kinds of questions about baby animals, her new house, school, etc and a promise of French Toast with chocolate and cinnamon in the morning. Suddenly she just said, I am ready to sleep now, and that was that. I moved Sawyer back from my bed and he slipped into the trundle and promptly fell asleep. I hope everyone who has to deal with sleepy kids tomorrow isn’t mad at me. I really had a lovely evening with them both. Perhaps they will sleep a little bit tomorrow.
A funny moment that had Emmy in hysterics was when I voice to text sent a message to her Dad to see if we could call. The message said Timmy wanted to call. When we did call she lowered her voice and pretended to be Timmy. It was so funny to see her acting like his son Timmy. She is quite the character this one.
I gathered my mail to find a beautiful card announcing and inviting to celebrate the upcoming graduation of my son-in-law’s Sister’s eldest daughter. Her day is more momentous as it is her high school and college graduation! Unfortunately it is mid-June in Olympia Washington and I have to head out 3 weeks later for musicfest. I so appreciate being included and receiving the card with gorgeous pictures and her story. I will show the front but there is personal info on the back. So happy for her bright future!
