I had Cassandra all day today, because Natalie was taking her
exam for medical transcription...SOOOO, after her nap and lunch,
we decided to pay a visit to G & G. We played hard at their house
for 2 hours!! (notice: Grandma's empty coffee table...baby-proofed!)
Cassandra had the best time "walking" along the railing
the other night. Her mom had asked me to let her figure
out for herself how to get down from places after she got
up. Soooo, her enjoyment turned to difficulty when she
decided to get down. She began to do the splits, then fell
backwards. It was a pretty soft landing, but I think her
feelings were hurt, because her Pa-Pa laughed so hard that
she began to cry. Yia-Yia came to the rescue, and the
tears were short-lived. :-)
In my mind, nothing says "Gramma" like cookies...it follows
right after hugs, kisses, and fun. So, yesterday, after I picked
up Cassandra, we first made a stop at Papa's office, then we
went to Safeway. This was a first for us. She sat in the seat
of the grocery cart like a big girl (strapped in, of course), Yia-Yia
used a sanitary wipe to wipe off the handle (which was never
offered when our kids were little...not sure how they survived),
and away we went.
She smiled like it was a carnival ride as I pushed (and leaned down
and said, "Wheeeeee"). The sights in the store captivated her
attention...and, when we went down the baby aisle, and I saw
baby banana cookies, I just couldn't resist. SO, these pics are
a FIRST. A FIRST cookie at Yia-Yia's house! She ate it with glee,
not even knowing how much fun it was for me. :-)
She even offered to share
