Friday Pals

I have a new pal on Fridays. Since my son has new work hours temporarily, I stay with my grandson. Today I will watch him during the day and then again at night while my daughter in law goes back to work. They are two very hard working people, so helping them out is my pleasure. My grandson is at the age where he smiles and gets excited when I walk in the room. When it is time for me to leave, he has a big frown and cries. Even though I hate to see him cry, I love the feeling that this little boy actually cares when I leave him. When we are together, we roll on the floor, sing songs, read books and play with many of his toys. I never remember playing with my children when they were young. I do remember reading to them, but I was a notorious "page skipper". I would read page one and skip to page four. I never thought they knew the difference. Maybe that is why they are good at their police jobs. They spent their childhood years trying to figure out the missing pieces of all of their story books.
