October 19th - D-Day

This Grannie should be in bed, but I was thinking about five years ago when Jill brought little Derek into the world.!     He will get to have a "friend" bowling party tomorrow on his big day ~ the little guy is a big guy now!       If you have ever sat eye to eye with Derek while he explained something to you, like the plot of a favorite movie or watched him play his WII or ride his bike or scooter, you will know this five year old is all about intensity!!!  But if you are patient and just listen and try to keep the smile off of your face when he is telling you all about it.........it is sheer delight, what a treat!   He's a busy busy guy and has made great strides in his sociability this year at preschool.   (I happen to know he likes a special little girl in his class who has "tiny hands")

Happy Birthday Derek!!!!

Grandma has a surprise for you ~ I love you soooooooooo much!
