Even though I blogged today, I knew that blog was not where my heart was today. The remnants of Madeline's visit for two days has grown within me as the day wore on. I was thinking of conversations Maddie and I had...remembering statements like, "Nana, where are we going?" or "Nana, don't take that slinky off your head." or "Nana, you're so silly." Or Maddie leading the "Happy Birthday" song to Clay and her pointing to each bowl of food on the table saying, "I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that..."
As I cleaned up on this Monday off from work, I found 'Stretch' a plastic, rubbery yellow bunny that Maddie stretched as far as she could, giving that poor rabbit arms 6 inches long. I found the Dora coloring book where I was demanded by my grandaughter to "You use this blue!" I found a stray green jelly bean under a couch, and Peep marshmallow cream on the tile floor. I found the rainbow colored slinky and remembered laying on the pallet under clear blue skies with it on my head.
Gosh. Keeping Maddiefor a couple of days make the best memories in a grandmother's mind.
This is a wonderful blog!!
