Good morning Everyone!

Kayla left with my mother yesterday for about a ten-day trip to visit some family members, and so I was helping her to get up and get ready.
After she finished her bath, she disappeared into her room and silence reigned. After about 10 minutes of that, I called out, from the den “Kayla, you need to be getting dressed!”
From her room, she replied, “I am!”
I said, “You need to stop lying on your bed drying off and start actively putting clothes on.” FN1.
Her voice drifted down the hall again, amazed, “How did you know?”
Fast forward to about 7:30 in the evening, when Mom had Kayla call to check in with us. I told her that since it was just Mark and I at home, I had fixed him a gourmet dinner – pan con gelee y butre especial FN. 2. She snorted on the other end of the phone and asked, “What is that – spaghetti and meatballs?” I laughed and told her she was close – it was peanut butter and jelly.

It’s nice and funny that we know each other so very well!

Have a great day!

FN1. Yes, it bothers me too – she wraps herself in a towel and then lies down on her bed after her bath to dry off. Every single bath. Without fail. And yes, her sheets do get damp, but somehow they always are dry again by nightfall.
FN2. I made that phrase up, of course; I’m pretty sure either the French or Spanish words for “butter” are not “butre.” I just needed something that had a nice ring to it.
Tales from the Mom-Side 
That’s cute, that you know each other so well.
That is very funny Nancy. Enjoy your time with no child for the next 10 days!
It’s amazing how much I miss her! She and Mom will be back here Thursday or Friday, so that is good. I always enjoy having Mom come visit, too.
