I had a wonderful Mother’s Day. What made mine extra special is that I had
both of my grandchildren here at the same time.
My son and daughter came to a family lunch at my parents’ home with
their spouses and my grandchildren, and I couldn’t have been happier. They couldn't have given me a better gift. What a special day! What a blessing!
My mother and sister and I made preparations for the
lunch by making our families’ favorite dishes, but what I was not prepared for
was the jealousy of the grandchildren for my attention! Kind of flattering, that they both wanted
their Coco’s full attention! Evie was
NOT happy that she had to share me with Kip, and Kip did NOT like her playing
with the toy car he had been playing with!
I don’t get to see him very often, so I made it a
point to play with Kip, because I see Evie several times a week. At one point I looked over from the living
room into the dining room and caught her staring at me. She immediately wanted down from her high
chair and then came over and began to play with the toys Kip had been playing
with. That’s when he grabbed the toy car
and said, “Mine!”
Being the grandmother of two toddlers wanting my
attention at the same time was certainly a challenge but I loved it! I just hope they will get to know each other
and learn to love being together. That
would make this grandma very happy.
How about you?
Do you have grandchildren or children who vie for their grandparents’
attention?
XOXO
