Doting Grandparents

Bella Here 

Our mornings start with “Bella here!”, and our granddaughter appears at the end of our bed. She is too short to get up by herself, so Grant gives her a lift, and we snuggle away. Until she decides time’s up, and away she goes.

We are so lucky to spend this time with Bella. When our older granddaughter was about the same age, she and her parents came to live with us. Every morning, she and I would share breakfast, then figure out what we wanted to do that day while everyone else was at work. In the afternoon, we’d have tea together, a tradition we still share.

Ready For Missy Pirate’s 

Even when Clara got older, she and I still ate breakfast together before I took her to daycare. Daycare was just on the other side of New River, so I rode my bike and pulled Clara in a trailer. She called daycare “Missy Pirate’s”, which her mom finally figured out was because there was a pirate cartoon playing on the tv when they visited the first time.

Clara and I ate breakfast and had tea until she was about four. Her dad got a job at Disney World in Orlando, and they moved. Soon we will be living nearby. We won’t have breakfast, but I’m looking forward to afternoon tea and swims in our pool.
