Last weekend we had a very VERY special guest at our house. My grandmother decided to come enter "our world" for a change. With the care that my grandfather has required over the past few years while battling Alzheimers, there has really never been an opportunity for Memama to come to our house and just "be"--nobody to take care of, nobody to cook for or entertain, nobody pulling her to leave and get back home. Now that Mymike is in a nursing home, she has a bit more freedom and will hopefully have MANY more chances to come to Charlotte to enter our world and be with her GREAT-grandchildren. I feel sooo blessed to have such a YOUNG and hip grandmother and it is beyond special that my children are actually getting the chance to develop a relationship and tons of memories with their great-grandmother. We had a BLAST with Memama and kept her pretty busy the whole 48 hours she was here!!! Here's what we did:
- played in the "box house"
- read books and magazines
- looked at scrapbooks
- played with Braxton on the floor
- had dinner at On The Boarder (enjoyed fajitas and sopapillas...the ONLY way to "do" OTB!)
- watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
- had Memama help with jammies and bedtime routines!
- went to OUR church
- baked banana bread
- explored the Great Wolf Lodge (just for fun!)
- got overwhelmed by IKEA
- played dominoes and memory match
- painted on the art easel!
- had ice cream at Coldstone Creamery!
- played outside and went on a nature walk
- and finished out our visit with a lunch date at none other than...Chick-Fil-A (Memama's FIRST time ever....wow!)
We had an AWESOME time Memama and can't WAIT for you to come back!!!! Love you!
