Two Peas in a Pod

Between Alyssa(7) and Addison(3), it's obvious that Addison interacts with Grandmom a lot more frequently. Grandmom has no clue who they are or what they are like. She calls them "big one", "little one", or even "that one." Alyssa is old enough to take it personal, but Addison could care less if Grandma knew her name or not. All she knows is that there is someone here with her and her mommy to play with! While Alyssa is at school, Grandmom and Addison do many things together. I'm not gonna lie...Addison sometimes takes advantage over the fact that Grandmom isn't always on her A-game. Whether it's coloring, reading, or just Addison giving Grandmom a toy to hold...they are playmates. It's unfortunate that Grandmom won't remember these days she has with her great granddaughter, and that Addison may still be too young to remember these days as well. But, to know that they have each other in the moment is all they seem to need.

  1. Grandmom still recognizes love and thank you and the girls for providing so much of it!
