Post Pandemic Babysitting Day 1
After 75days of #socialdistancing
“Grandma, I am hungry. I have not eaten breakfast.”
Me: So how about ube pancakes and bacon?
P: “I like that. Can I have mango too?”
She ate a heart-shaped ube pancake, a half moon pancake, a whole mango and two pieces of bacon.
I told her she is a very patient girl.
“Grandma, I am patient.”
Me: I noticed that when you asked to fix breakfast you waited until I was done. She smiled.
By the art wall where she did her imaginative play, I said, “You look so pretty.”
P: “Because I like looking nice, Grandma.”
We talked about her dreams. In her dream, she chased the bad guy getting his father.
I asked, ” How do you know he is a bad guy?” The bad guy had a gun, Grandma and about to hurt my dad, but I smashed him.
I then said, “Pray to Baby Jesus to protect you always, even in your dreams.”
She then moved to do her tea cups imaginative play. She gave me spaghetti made of marbles. Later, she said, “Grandma, you are so smart, you believe in Baby Jesus.” I told her I pray to Baby Jesus each night to protect me.
After breakfast she asked her grandpa to make apple juice with her.
Do you get a sense of how she balances her time with us? But also, a very strong sense of self, how to be patient, how to look nice, how to be nice to others? I love how she is truly beautiful inside and out.
Now, Grandpa and her are out to hunt for numbers in the garden.
