Miss Sun and Miss Cloud

I didn't have Serenity last weekend because her mommy had the weekend off and they shared some quality time together. I missed her visit so when Jessica had to work late today, I volunteered to watch Serenity. I know there is nothing worse than a grandmother who brags endlessly about her grandchildren. I can't help it though. Sometimes she just astounds me and I feel the need to share it. Serenity loves to draw and make up stories and she's pretty inventive. She had started a story with the help of her mom and she asked me to help her finish it. Helping her simply means helping her with the spelling of words. She has her own ideas and doesn't desire any input. The last story she wrote was "About Flowers" and there were many pictures of flowers. Her nonsensically stories are always so sweet. It took me a minute to understand the premise behind this new story but, when I did I couldn't believe how a 5 year old thinks. Of course the story included pictures but here is the little story.....

Miss Sun and Miss Cloud decided to have a contest.
Miss Sun tried to make him take off his coat.
Miss Cloud tried to make him put on his coat
They both won and loss.

When I asked her who "him" was she said "the "person" grandma".
Do you get the story?

Up, Up and Away

A post script to yesterday's blog: My daughter Jessica just told me that Serenity informed her that she thought we were going to change planes in the sky and she wondered how we were going to jump from one plane to the other in the air. Out of the mouths of babes. It never occurred to me to explain the plane change to her. I can totally understand how she would think this. Now I understand why she insisted on the prayer on the plane that we would get to New Jersey safely. It maybe also explains her comment about flying two planes in one day as "unbelievable". I think this speaks volumes regarding Serenity's trust in Grandma. I pray I'll never let her down. I said she was a trooper and I think this proves it. Jessica asked Serenity if she could imagine Grandma jumping from the plane and she said NO!

I better rethink the sky diving!
