Tuesdays with Grandma

In the morning, Tara wakes up quickly, closes her door for "privatsy" and gets dressed from head to toe all by herself. She opens the door and makes her grand entrance into the day: pink hat, beaded purse and all.

Tara has been spending Tuesdays with Grandma because her new pre-school has room for her every day but Tuesdays. She gets so excited about going to Grandma's house. I know it's a long day for both of them, but they manage. Tara wheels in her suitcase filled with toys; Grandma has snacks at the ready. I can see their relationship is growing.

Today they played with bubbles outside, colored with crayons and stickers, bounced on stuffed animals (well Tara did), played with dolls and rested on the couch. I wish I could spend Tuesdays with Grandma!
