In another attempt to bribe the child, last night I urged her to play in bathtub, which she does quite like Mom-Mom’s bathtub, it being a big affair that I never use. I told her I would set her hair in curls. Which I did but it was quite wet last night around 9 pm when I set it.

Thus it did not dry and her hair looked awful, all bent and crimped and frizzy. With some effort I got it calmed and to make her feel like all was well, I put one of my headbands in her hair. She kept telling me that her mother wanted a picture as I’d made this tempting offer before her mother left her with me for the night. Her mother said no such thing about wanting a picture, it was Kaitlyn who wanted a picture.

Anyway, with the headband and my ministrations I managed to make her look less like a Muppet but darn if she didn’t insist on me taking a picture because “her mother wanted one”.

The things you gotta do.

She is my one and only grandchild, she is an amazingly well-adjusted, well-behaved child. If you should ask her how is she doing, she replies with a great big smile in her voice...”I’m doing GREEEEEAAAAT. How about you?”

Our choir Director did come over to thank the young lady for singing with us. She very politely said “you’re welcome”.

I love her more than just about anything and, inserting a bit of politics here, I want her to have the country to grow up in that I had.

She so deserves it.
