Tired!

My daughter tells me my blog is tired and needs a face lift. Sounds like I have a lot in common with it. I didn't do this the first time. So...!

Water Aerobics!

The pool is open again and I'm back to water aerobics. I think it is my favorite form of exercise. I can do it and not be sore for days. The moves are simple enough that you can do all the moves and degree of difficulty is only determined by yourself. You can really kick your own butt! If there is a class, I'll be there.

Twirly skirts

Remember the day back in the early 90's I guess when twirly skirts with leggings were all the rage? My youngest daughter had an entire closet/drawer full of "twirly skirts". She "had" to wear them everywhere. I remember this one time when she was 4 or 5 and we were at a swim team banquet and she did not have on a twirly skirt. You say, "so?"
Swim team banquet includes music and dancing after awards are handed out. The music began and all the kids and adults started to dance except "twirly girl" (we will call her). When I tried to encourage her to participate, she told me she couldn't dance. I answered yes you can just try and she insisted she had to have her twirly skirt to dance....
Yes, I went home to get a twirly skirt and guess what she can dance and twirl. She hasn't stopped dancing yet. As she got older she changed her dancing skirts for some blue and white stripes. :)
This same twirly girl came home for some time this summer and I was making her some dresses and yes out of her mouth came, "I want the skirt to be flowy on the bottom." Sounds like she is in the mood for some twirly skirts again.
So twirly skirts for the twirly girl!

Hurray for you! Hurray for me! Hurray, it's time to pee!

Have you ever been cheered by a two year old for "peeing in the potty"? Or perhaps promised a treat for having done so? Yesterday Papaw was followed into the back bathroom and watched until he was finished. That was followed by a great big cheer and a job well done. The two year old then promised Papaw a piece of candy for going "peepee on the potty. Good boy Papaw!

More sunshine

Everyone should get to enjoy two, two year old boys trying to potty train and share their favorite toys. It makes me smile.

It is so nice to enjoy grandchildren. They are so sweet. Maybe it's cause grammy has lots of treats.

No, I think they just are my heart.

Sunshine

Sunshine comes in more than one form. The one we feel on our skin when outside, the one we turn our face to to feel the sunshine on our face, the one the weather man talks about, but I had a different form of sunshine this week.

I picked up my granddaughter and drove her to preschool. On the way I asked her what she would like to do after school today (it was 8:30 am). she quickly responded with " I would like to get banana splits" and then proceeded to tell me about her first one on her fifth birthday. While waiting in line to drop her off she told me "Mom lets me sit in the front and listen to the music, so I can move to the music like this." (she rocks from side to side).

When I went back to pick her up, she said " I know the way to Target from preschool" so of course we headed straight there. We found "makeup", lots of glitter included. We found cute shoes, swimsuits and a few other things. Grammy is a sucker for them as well.

We then found our selves in the snack bar with pretzels and icees.

Next on the agenda I was thinking about heading to her house. She wanted to go to Grammy's house. She said the boys are going potty all day. So Grammy's house it was.

Followed by her favorite "Tom and Jerry" cartoons, lots of giggles inserted here with snacks and lounging around like she owned the joint.

I found out she "hates" it when Mom says"what did you do in school today?" I asked her why and she responded with I can't remember everything. So we had a conversation with specific questions to help prompt her memory. That is a fun time. Dress up is her favorite (shocker). We also discussed erosion. Every five year old should have a working knowledge of that.

All in all a very successful day of 5 year old activities. We all could do with a few more of those.
