Today was a total Nana day! Hubby was feeling better but still a little under the weather so we decided to go to Sarah's with the understanding that she would not hold the baby, Shy, or get that close to Lili. I got the total gramma experience today. We are teaching the kids to call me Nana. Lili was all excited when she saw hubby come in, grampa made faces at her. She made happy faces at me too. I was excited to see the grandbabies as we didn't see them at all yesterday.
When we arrived, I showed Lili the 3 books that hubby and I bought her yesterday at Goodwill. She stayed still for about a minute and we flipped through a few pages and I read quickly. She stayed still as long as a 16 month will, a minute here and a minute there. She liked the books and came back to them several times. Once just to stand on them, they felt good on her feet.
I spent the day holding and loving Shy. She melded into me sleeping. I got to hold her, change her, change her diaper and rock her. The only thing I didn't do was feed her cause Sarah is breastfeeding. Sarah is tired and I tried to give her time to be unattached, unencumbered by children. We tried to entertain Lili, and Shy, hubby doing the cooking. Sarah was tired and fed up, people in her house were getting on her nerves. We did the best we could to help out.
I asked Sarah if I could have the full gramma experience and be able to give Lili a bath. She loves to play in the water and I wanted to see and experience that and I did! Sarah even got some pictures and sent them to me.
Hubby finished making his homemade chicken soup and we had it for dinner. It was good and we had fresh crusty bread with it. Apparently eating Kosher means you can't eat dairy and meat at the same time in the same meal so no butter with the bread. Lots to learn!
