Sadie and her parents visited our house yesterday afternoon. She has a favorite picture album that she finds on one of the step tables and enjoys "reading" it while sitting on my lap. It is the album from our "family get together" in Washington, D.C. to celebrate a wedding anniversary a couple years ago. She picks up the album, walks over and hands it to me and then crawls up on my lap and starts to "read". She recognizes many of the people pictured and has "names" for most of us.
This morning she was a "lamb" in the Nativity Scene at Church while wearing a little "lambskin appearing vest" and cap with big ears. Attempts were made to teach her the sound that lambs are noted for but to little avail. While eating with them this evening, when asked about being a lamb this morning she let out a "baaaaa, baaaaa" as well as anyone could. The older we get, the more we are fascinated by children, especially when they happen to be a Great Grandchild. We are now enjoying "The Sound of Music" for the "umpteenth" time. Julie Andrews and the Trapp Family are as fascinating as ever. What a great way to approach Christmas.
