A GREAT AFTERNOON FOR "MIMI"

I just had to share my afternoon/evening...spent w/my step granddaughters.

First, I FINALLY got to their house at about 1:00. DSDIL left me w/almost 4 month old Anna while she did a few errands. It was soooo great:) With all my nieces/nephews, I've had the experience...but its been awhile. Got to change her diaper, put up w/her sleepy crying, and it was all so cool. Finally, she dropped off to sleep in my arms.

Then...Eden, who will be 6 tomorrow (our *step* granddaughter) came home from school, and we (dh was there by then) took her to Mom's pool @ her condo, which is now heated again. This was the first time I have seen her swim....we had soooo much fun. DH couldn't get in cuz he had some moles taken off this week, but Eden & I had a FAB time. It was so breezy & cool out of the pool, but warm as bath water in the pool. I even taught her to dive...almost.

And Mom got to come out & meet, for the first time, her MOST precocious newest member of the 'extended' family. Mom thoroughly enjoyed herself as well.

We came back home after about 1-1/2 hr swim/play time (GREAT exercise for me!), and ALMOST had her spending the nite for the 1st time...thanks to me. (DH was NOT happy) But since she has her big bday party tomorrow, we finally decided, as did she, that another time would be better.

DH is currently a bit po'd at me, but too bad. I FINALLY feel like a real grandma...despite being a 'step'. He says we should have discussed together this spend the nite thing b4 mentioning it to Eden. Oh, well, all's well that ends well.

We would have had to go buy some 'pull-ups' (she still wets the bed, I learned tonite), PLUS she needs railings for the bed. The next time we think about her spending the nite, these items will be sent to us. She also still uses her 'paccy' (pacifier).

Geez!

Anyhoo, I'm fixin' to eat & go to bed. Just wanted to share some fun time w/you buds:)
