SOL #28 - One-on-One

Last week Michelle wrote a post about taking each of the girls separately to have some one-on-one time.  Well, today was the day.  Michelle took M to the library puppet show and I kept P at home.  P & I took a nice walk, we picked dandelions for M & Momma.  We came home, had a snack, read some books and played with toys.  Every so often P would look around and say "Where's M?".    And then back to playing.  I think she enjoyed my undivided attention, but also missed her sister.  They look to each other for companionship and to see what kind of trouble the other one is getting into.

I told her to put the dandelions on the window ledge so that she could give them to M when they got back home.  The second P heard the door open, she grabbed the dandelions and ran to meet them.  They were so excited to see each other.

Michelle & I both decided that it was soooo easy to just have one child to deal with, but we wouldn't give them up for anything.  One-on-one time is a time to enjoy and learn more about them individually.  I'm looking forward to my time with M (hopefully tomorrow).

    The one-on-one time was wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed it too! I think both M and P loved the attention as well . . . even if they were asking about each other! They are so used to being together that I think it's natural for them to wonder.

    I love how P remember about the dandelions! Looking forward to more one-one-one time tomorrow too!

    This is a good thing for twins, the one on one time with parents and grandparents. I can't imagine how hard it is to accomplish though. Glad you had/have a chance to do it!

    Everyone needs a little TLC just for them. So glad you are there to give it to each little girl and one big girl too.

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Image
Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

SOS #26 - 10/1/20 - Little Pieces of Magic that have appeared in my life recently

Image
  We hear so much negativity and doubt that many become depressed in our country at this time.  It's time for us to look to the positive and find the magic that surrounds us.  Here's my list of Magic that I've discovered recently. A phone call from a friend I hadn't heard from in a while A text message wishing me a great day A positive reply to my "thought for the day" for Michelle & girls A hug or two or three from Hubby.  And some hugs given to special friends. The delight in creating a greeting card to send to someone who needs lifting up The cool morning to take a long walk and contemplate the coming of Fall The turning of the leaves A beautiful sunrise and sunset with a full moon rising in the sky Shutting off the A/C and opening up the windows The smiles we can see in the eyes of those who wear masks Talking with a special 98 year old friend who looks forward to my weekly calls The sound of the wind chimes (they were given to us many years ago by Mic...
