During the week we really didn't do anything too special-just hung out at home, played, and stuck with our usual schedule. G-ma got to come with me to drop of Larkin at school, and Larkin was a little hesitant to go--she clung on tight to G-ma and cried a little bit. G-ma was there to pick her up after school too, which is always such a cute sight. Larkin walks out of the building in a straight line with her friends and always has her hands up on her backpack shoulder straps. Once Larkin got outside she had a huge grin and yelled, "That's my Boat-mama! Hello Boat-mama!!"
G-ma has a special makeup bag just for the girls (no actual makeup, just clean brushes and empty containers-but they don't know the difference!). I don't think she was in the house more than five minutes before they were requesting makeup and toenail polish!
Larkin climbed up in G-ma's lap one night in the living room and snuggled up to her for almost 20 minutes (very unlike her!). She let G-ma rock her and she even whispered, "Boat-mama, I love you."
The night before G-ma had to leave, she told the girls that she would be flying on an airplane the next day to go home. Willa started crying, hugged her and said, "NO! I come with you!" In the morning when they woke up G-ma had already left. Larkin ran right to her room then ran back to me and said, "Yep. Boat-mama was right. She's not in her room anymore. She's in the woods in Three Lakes. I bet she's hunting." When Willa woke up, she didn't talk about G-ma at all, which was unusual. On every morning that she was here Willa would ask for her and run to find her. So after a while I asked Willa where Boat-mama was and she said, "Boat-mama on airplane! I sorry, Mommy. I sorry."
