Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Phoebe has surprised me like that, even with her limited language skills. I was searching for her hairbrush one day and asking myself, " where is it? " Four year old Phoebe popped up. " der mommy " and pointed me right to it. I hugged her as soon as I picked my jaw up off the floor. Thanks Granny. I needed the smile. I am feeling very defeated after hearing the news of Sanford's affair. Sorry to bring up politics, I just feel really lost right now.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Kym,  I meant to respond to this too! Thanks for telling us about this. Olivia's teacher wants us to focus on this as well, however I think she already does a great job ordering for herself at restaurants. Sort of along the lines of what Rick was telling us, with our kids and their future adult lives, Livi had some pretty intriguing questions for me the other night. She asked if I had married Dad, then if her aunt and uncle were married (that would be my brother and sis-in-law), and then she said she wants to be married when she grows up - to her uncle! She talks alot about what she wants to do when she is grown-up.  Patty  From: kym mac <mymacfamily@...> Linman42@...; < > Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 8:22 AM Subject: Re: brag  He is 14...and ALL teenager! lol I know...the world is constantly " reminding us " of what our kids can't do.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Patty, I think that is so neat! I love when they have the concept coming of the future and what they want.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 You are truy blessed granny...but so are the rest of us! Loree Brag  I'm getting forgetful in my dotage. I remember to take my morning medication, but forget the evening dose half the time. I tried setting the alarm on my cell phone, but I don't hear it. So, I asked (38, DS) to remind me because she never forgets her synthroid. She takes it precisely at 5 pm, and you can set your watch by it. So, every evening, precisely at 8, she finds me and says, " Do you know what time it is? " I reply, " Medicine time! " For a week now, she has not forgotten. The odd thing is, has never learned to tell time. I think she compensates by what is on TV. So, in addition to helping me bathe, prepare meals, clean, do laundry and all that, she is the best caregiver I could hope for. A lady does come in on the days is at work, but on other days, I am dependent on . She never lets me down. granny, truly blessed -- *Not for ourselves, but for the world were we born.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
