DAY 7: PLAYING GRANDMA

It was Grandma and Mia Day. Rumor has it that Mia loves chicken nuggets and yes. . . it is indeed true. She also thinks she likes cheeseburgers until she has a bite and then spits it out all over herself and looks cute doing it!

Why don't I ever remember it being so hard and that's with just one child, not three or four.

Picture this:

Me holding Mia, ordering food, trying to get money out of my purse, still holding Mia but decided to let her stand right beside me because I can't seem to find my billfold in that bottonless pit I call a purse. She is soooooo sweet standing right beside me holding on to my leg. Now that the food is ready: chicken nuggets, a single, a french fry, and a diet coke, I pick Mia up, grab the tray and head to a table in the back. Uh Oh. . . Mia has dropped her babydoll. Thank goodness for the kind lady who picked it up for me.

Now that the tray of food is on the table I am in search of a highchair, still holding Mia. The search is now complete and we head back to the table. Darn it, I left Mia's milk in the truck along with the disposable placemats. Where were those in the 80's? Opps. . . I forgot napkins. Again, thank goodness that an employee was cleaning off a nearby table and kindly went up front to get some napkins for us. One minute later and no help in sight. . .Opps. .. . no straw. Now there is no option. . . I can't leave Mia sitting there all by herself so out she comes from her highchair and up front we go to get a straw. Back to the table, back in the high chair and eating commences. She's talking to me but I can't speak 'baby' so I have no idea what she's saying but we giggle and laugh and have some very memorable granddaughter/grandma moments!

The day ended at the ballpark where we watched another

future major leaguer show off his baseball stuff!
