Sometimes children need their grandma

I spent three days in Rose Park at my daughters house this week. I watch the two little ones on Wednesdays while their mother works at the elementary. The other two days that she works they go to a friends. I committed to watch them all three days this week and when I got to their home I found everybody to be sick. The two older children were home from school sick also. All four children had coughs, running noises, and fevers. There was someone coughing constantly the whole time I was there.

These three days were the best time I've ever spent with all four of them for a good number of hours. They weren't sick enough that they had to lay down all the time, and they weren't well enough to be miserable. They kept me busy all day, but they each took their turn for my attention. They loved the special little things I did for them. And they all returned love to me in a big way.
