I think it's much easier to do with a grandchild than with your own children because you are around them all the time and they can't help but pick up on your feelings, good and bad.<br />Hope you have a "laugh until your sides hurt" moment in your life real soon, my friend!

I have become really serious, I have forgotten how it was to be like the kids...<br /><br />God sent a Philip Neri in my midst this month ~ and it feels good to be laughing not because I make fun of people but for the simple realization that I am loved by God.<br /><br />I pray with you ~ YES!

Loved this post. What precious photos and what an enchanting day you all enjoyed together. :)<br /><br />I loved when you wrote this:<br /><br />"I try not to show how grossed out I am by the swarms of white, wiggly bugs underneath more than one stone. I don't want to negatively influence Virginia's perceptions or dampen her curiosity. "<br /><br />I think that's a great approach in helping her shape her own views about life rather than shaping them for her-how to feel towards bugs, etc etc. What a sensitive and perceptive grandmother you are, surely a blessing in her life! :)<br /><br />Jessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.com
