We have 2 granddaughters (ages 5 & 7) that live 1/2 mile from us. We go there every school/camp morning to prepare them for their day. We've been doing this since Covid settled down enough for the kids to go back to school. I say "we" because He ALWAYS accompanies me, has never missed a day.
The mornings always run smoothly (on our end) as we each have our tasks to complete. I make sure they eat enough, dress them and do their hair in an "acceptable" style. He brushes their teeth, walks the dog and carries their schoolbags. There are some mornings that we finish early enough that we can do something together (when I can pry them away from the TV). We have colored, played school, exercised, and had more dance parties than we can count!
When we return home, we generally sit for a while and discuss our morning. Sometimes, we smile and reminisce about the laughter. On occasion, we are amazed that it is only 10:00am as it seems as though that morning routine took forever! We realize that these special times are not going to last ..... they will grow and not need us there. We are just hoping to leave them with fun memories that will always make them smile. ( I know I will always remember the girls taking turns combing HIS hair and adorning him with hairbows. He's a good sport.)
