Amy's old dollhouse is back in place. When Amelia is here, it usually sits on the coffee table or in the middle of the living room floor with all kinds of toys scattered around it.
Amelia's craft table sits awaiting her return. She loves to cut and paste, color and paint, staple and stick.
Our third bedroom is Amelia's room. The stickers on the wall are starting to come loose, but we spend time before she settles down at night to get them stuck back. One night when we were talking before I read her story she told me, "Nana, I think my bedroom is beautiful."
Someone asked me the other day what was the one thing that Amelia got to eat at grandma's that she didn't get anywhere else. Well, it is not something to eat, it's something to drink. We always stock plenty of "yoo-hoos" before she comes to visit. Amy told me not to let her have too many and I didn't. We still have one left! Look, it says its rich in calcium and vitamin D right on the carton!
This is where Amelia plays bookstore/library. She calls her patrons in one at a time (me or Paw-Paw or Amy if she's here) and allows them to get one picture album of her baby pictures. She has to do a lot of writing and calclulating before you can leave with the book. No matter what we are doing, if she calls out that she is ready for a customer we have to respond.
This is a sample of the paperwork required to get a book. The first line is my age (64). Next is my name. (Note the curls she has started putting on her lower case 'a'.) Next she asked my dad's name and the final question was who I was married to.
It is not so easy to get a good book these days.
This is what I was referring to in the title of this blog. Amelia loves to draw rainbows. Now I'm looking forward to February when we see our precious granddaughter again!
