Grandma! Beware!

So...

If you've been reading my blog for awhile you've seen this little girl a time or two...



Our youngest Grandlittle who started to Kindergarden in August.

She and her sisters were off school for Veterans Day and spent the day and overnight with us.

Those three Grandlittles are the best medicine anyone in the world could hope for...

...especially when they hug and kiss you and write you notes!

Late in the afternoon, Miss Mo went into my office and spent a l o o o o o n n n g time in there.

Every time I walked by the door she shouted, "Don't come in Grandma! It's a surprise!"

Finally she surfaced when I was just finishing up cooking dinner.

"Grandma, please sit down, I have a letter for you," she told me in a very serious voice.

I sat at the kitchen table and she handed me a folded up piece of paper.

I picked her up and sat her on my lap and said, "Wow, you wrote me a letter, Mo! That's really cool."

"Welllll, Grandma, I did write you a letter BUT I don't know what it says."

"Okay, Mo," I replied, "How did you write me a letter if you don't know what it says?"

"Grandma! I put down a whole bunch of letters and numbers and then I signed my name!"

"Well, that sounds neat," and I started to unfold the note.

"Wait! Wait! Grandma! Beware! Beware!!!!"

"Beware?" I inquired, "Beware?"

"Yes, Grandma! Beware! There are a lot of periods and commas in the note, too!"

And I carefully unfolded the note and, by golly, there were a lot of periods and commas in there, too.


Thank heavens she warned me to beware!

Sigh...

  2. She's sounds so adorable. We spent the weekend with grandlittles of our own and, yes they are the best medicine. It'll be many months before we get another dose though as ours live so far away.

  11. This is great. The reader can then insert their own meanings--it is sort of like a buffet.

  14. Boy am I glad you sent us all a cuteness alert before reading this! What a little dolly!!!

  15. Wow! She certainly said a mouthful in all those letters and punctuation. I think that is worth framing and hanging on the wall in your office!

  16. A cute thing my little grandson does when I watch him is take me around the house when I first get there and show me all the "dangerous" things. He usually says something like "This is dangerous for gwammas, this is only for me to use. Typically the dangerous stuff is stuff he isn't allowed to play with (lawnmowers, microwaves, etc.) but he never stops hoping that I am a big enough pushover to let him play with the dangerous stuff...

    Don't you just love them????

    xxoo,

  25. Adorable! You'll keep it forever! Justin likes to write, but he makes me spell everything out, slowly, so he can do it one letter at a time.

  26. Oh my goodness, Jenny! Your littlest granlittle is super adorable! She really just wrote you a letter with random letters and numbers! That is just beyond cute :) How about we make a trade for a day and I get to play with your granlittle and you get to play with E? Or better yet, we can have them play together!
