A WORD ABOUT GRANDPARENTING

As awesome as being a dad has been, being a grandpa is as fun and challenging. Tonight was a especially so. Upon my arrival from a long week at work (boy, I love saying that after having not to say it for six months), I was assigned a pizza and a movie pick-up. Papa Murphy's was easy, The movie was a little more challenging. It was suggested (by Grandma) that The Little Mermaid be a choice and something else. I got a Little Mermaid, and chose a Curious George. It turns out both were good choices.

Our little one was a constant barrage of questions while watching the mermaids. She had to make sure that they had no feet and was uncertain as to the fate of a killed mermaid mom. While she was able to follow the movie, to a point, these questions continued to haunt her. As the movie progressed, it became a little too scary and Curious George replaced the mermaids in a flash. Fewer questions arose here and homemade chocolate chip cookies were shared and sleepiness began arriving. I just wish it had been from our little one. Another well-spent night with our precious one.
