Fun with Kyle

I had the best time with Kyle the other day. I have enjoyed taking care of him when Katie has had Dr. appointments. The picture has nothing to do with the story, it was taken at Sara Birthday Party. But I digress. I knocked on the door, and when Katie opened it, Kyle was standing on the other side of the room. He looked at me and I got one of his rare smiles, he turned and ran into his bedroom. In a few minutes he brought out a puzzle, brought it to where I was sitting, and that is what he wanted to play with, with his grandma. How precious. On another note. He has been so healthly this first 20 months of his life. But he has caught something. Not sure what. He is in Loma Linda Pedatric Intensive Care Unit. We would appricate your prayers.

Mia Grandma Day

I had my first real Mia Grandma Day. We were all a little nervous how this would turn out. I met Sam at the park and we made the exchange. Last time she got into my car with out her mother, she was hysterical! This time she was bewildered. I chatted with her all the way home, with all kinds of ideas of things we could do on our special day. Nora and Sara come with their list all ready. We played in the grandma room. The beads were not a success, and not much interest in the puzzles. She liked the little doll house, complete with a grandma and grandpa, and a pair of missionaries. Still looking around for her sisters. I think she was surprised that she could move the figures, and furniture, and no one else came and changed it. About an hour into the day she fully realized that no one else was here. She had Grandma all to her self, and she wasn't going to get interrupted! She knew what she wanted. Books. So we read, and read, and read. She would go get a book, bring it back to me, hop in my lap, we would read it, and then the process would start again. She wouldn't bring over more than one book at a time, and we almost emptied the basket. I am looking forward to another Mia Grandma day soon!
