Spring Break trip to McWayne with Granny

 Lyla has piano, ballet and jazz lessons and Girl Scouts, soccer practice and games and birthday parties and, of course, both girls have school and as many after-school times as possible at the Mt. Laurel park. And this month included several illnesses. I had an emergency room visit and Angela had a “GI bug” and took several rare sick days off. Angela is continuing to work on courses to become a Nurse Practioner. She stays very busy and I’m glad I am able to help her with the girls. Willow had a “weepy eye” necessitating a doctor visit and had several stay-at-home days due to a fever. I took Willow on class field trip to McWayne Center, It was a very sweet time to see her with her friends. She has several special friends who are with her all five days at school. Due to Lyla’s soccer I had several Thursday nights to put sweet Willow to bed after reading many Baby Bug Books! One night as I started to sing “bed time songs” she told me not to sing to her. I realized she had matured enough to recognize I couldn’t sing well and “song-time” was over. One afternoon I took Willow home from the park to change her diaper and returned to the park. As I write this Willow is close to being toilet trained and that era will end too!  Lyla loves to play Hide and Seek with me and creates some awesome hiding places in the house! She is growing up so quickly… and so sweet, smart and beautiful! I, along with Raffi (aka “Saba Donuts”) and his wife Granna, went to Grandparent’s Day at HMS. At the end of the month the Rotter family went to “March for our Lives” to protest school shootings in Florida. During Spring Break I had a long and wonderful day with Lyla at McWayne Center. It is always a joy to see Lyla play well with children she doesn’t know. She’s not shy asking children to play with her! I went to visit my Mother in Mobile for Easter at the end of the month.
