Spa Treatment

After her bath tonight, GG and KK were worried about Amity going to bed with wet hair (shhhh...don't tell them but her Mommy and Daddy let her do that on a regular basis!) so they sat her up on the bathroom counter and proceeded to lay on the pampering.

I think she is trying to send me a look here that says, "See, Mom, thisis what I am talking about!"

The Grandparents Spa Night reminded me of a plaque my Oma and Opa had hanging on the wall next to their kitchen. It said something like:
A grandparent buys you gifts your mother says you don't need.
A grandparent pretends he doesn't know who you are on Halloween.
A grandparent will put a sweater on you when she is cold,
feed you when she is hungry
and put you to bed when she is tired.
A grandparent will frame a picture of your hand that you traced over the brocade sofa in the Mediterranean living room.
A grandparent will check to see if you are crying when you are sound asleep.
A grandparent is the only babysitter who doesn't charge money to keep you.
A grandparent will believe you can read when you have the book upside down.
When a grandchild says, "Grandma, how come you didn't have any children?" a grandparent will fight back the tears.

Thank you, GG & KK, for loving on your granddaughter!
