Allie and Grandma time

June 20th, 2008

Well it is 6:45 Friday morning, and it has been a long morning. I stayed with Allie last night. I think Tait left around 9 and Allie probably didn’t get to sleep till 11. Then whe woke up this morning before it was light and i think it gets light here at 4 am. I was very tired so I propped her up with pillows on my bed and then went back to sleep(sort of). Then when it was light out ,she was fussing,probably bored so I laid her down next to me. Lately she has been very loose and relaxed in the morning, instead of in a ball.  She laid her head right back and feet straight out, so I thought it would be a good time to do stretches. She was very agreeable  and one good thing about hard Chinese beds is they are good for doing stretches with Allie. So I got very creative and did all kinds of exercises with her . Then I remembered how she had’nt seemed to mind rolling with Tom so I started rolling her (one arm up over her head then the other) from one side of the double bed to the other.  We went back and forth several times.  I think she thought it was a game, cause I would say ok Allie lets rollllll again and she would sort of smile.  We did this many times, then I picked her up and gave her a hug telling her how wonderfulf she did.  She stood on the bed,legs apart, back straight with her arms on my shoulders and looked right at me smiling.  By this time I’m smilling and telling her how beautiful and amazing she is and she put  her head back and giggled, all the time standing.  So that made my day and made up for the night.  Well she is getting tired of waiting for me and my coffee is brewing.  More later Charlotte
