No Grandpa does not have a favorite. Just for hugs. She can be a bully, she’s so much smarter than the kids she’s been going to special needs school that she can get away with bullying them. She also gets bored and that leads to discipline problems. However this last week every day was “green”, which means something like “no demerits” at all. She was bribed though. If she’d not had a good week, she’d not have been able to attend her Aunt’s baby shower. But in the event, she and her twin were amazing. No problems at all, well except Ms. E tended to get a little loud, as she usually does. But since she was sitting on Grandpa’s lap, that got shushed right quick. She responded fine, she forgets herself, sort of like her grandpa.

And while being on their best behavior, they actually had a good time. While at their house waiting, they weren’t so good, but as Ms. E told Grandma, “We’re just excited”. After the shower was over, I told them both how proud I was of them, asked if there would be another “green” week. Ms. K didn’t answer, but Ms. E, the loudmouth, did, saying “yes.. well maybe one blue” She’s honest to a fault sometimes. :)

They both took to the upcoming baby’s other grandma amazingly quickly, Ms. K was giving her a hug before we even got inside the place, but E also got her hugs and lap time in. :) I think younger daughter had her prepped for the twins being hellions, since sometimes they are. But she thanked them afterwards too, and told them how glad she was that they came. the other grandma was in Grandma Heaven, the new baby will be her first, but she also only has sons, and so having two little girls hug on her was, well it was great to see.

Their big sister used part of her Christmas book store gift certificate to buy a book for her new boy cousin. Her own idea. She chose, “Pokey Little Puppy”, which she liked as a little girl, but then so did her mother and her aunt. Ms. V interacted nicely with the “other grandpa” too. But she kept asking the other guests, including the two close friends who put it on, “are you going to the Dallas shower next week?” and “why not?”

I was so proud of all three granddaughters yesterday.
