Breakfast with Granny..and "War Eagle girl"

I have been lucky to spend a lot of time with you during the past year.  Because it is best to have you in your own room and keep you in your routine with your favorite toys around you, I have always kept you at your house.  Although you have visited our house, you’ve come with your parents. But now that you are going to Mother’s Day Out two mornings a week, we are experimenting with your Dad bringing you to our house for breakfast and I take you to school on my way to work on some of your school days. Tuesday, September 25 was the first day that happened. I was excitedly anticipating it in a way that surprised me. I cleaned up the pantry and put your breakfast foods in a special container. I bought diapers, a bib & change of clothes & breakfast foods. Because your Dad was running a little late he handed you off to me then you had your first Breakfast with Granny at 4932 Nottingham Lane. You immediately noticed our ceiling fans & did your “ssssssss” fan imitation. You pointed to the lights & you immediately recognized and said "banana"...and ate one! I had some toys from a garage sale & you enjoyed playing with them and before I took you to school, I changed your diaper for the first time at our house. A minor "first" but still significant :)  Despite the fact there was an unexpected traffic jam slowing us down, you were happy all the way to school and seemed thrilled to see your teacher a chubby classmate Sam. Although I will still spend most of my time with you at your house, I think we will also have more pre-school times together at our house. On Friday I spent the afternoon at your house. Because you had a hard time going to sleep after your naptime bottle, I went into your room and held you in the rocker until you went back to sleep. What a wonderful feeling to rock you to sleep. Papa Wayne came to your house after fishing in your neighborhood lake and you were so surprised to see him when you woke up from your nap! You are a happy, smart, pretty, funny, amazing little girl. Looking forward to many more breakfasts (and other meals) with Granny!

P.S. The two pictures of you in your pretty vest were made at Breakfast with Granny. My "Post Script" to this post is you in your Auburn cheerleader outfit as an acknowledgement to football season. Your parents are both Auburn graduates & so are Papa Wayne, and cousin Mallory, and great-granddady Hastie who died March 7, 1992,  years before you were born. And your cousin Jackson Vincent Green is named after the great Bo Jackson! Auburn is having a rough football season this year so having your support is a good thing. Whether or not you go to Auburn, you definitely have "Auburn genes"...War Eagle!
