When I got my daughter, she was already eight years old. The adoption was final when she was 10.

No female grandchildren. So I’m at a loss....the Little Redhead (2 1/2 years old) loves me, but I have no clue what I’m doing...

HELP!!!!

Cupcake or cookie with pink icing and sprinkles. Stuffed animal (25 cents at my Salvation Army store, although she probably doesn’t want stingrays or lizards like my kids ;-). Flowers you pick from your landscaping.

Play with her and take her seriously, at the same time. This morning, for example, I found Frank drowning Lego Star Wars clone troopers in Ash’s water bowl. “Die, twoopah. You doid!” “Oh, isn’t that nice, Frank! You’ve saved the Republic, again! Now let’s get out of Ash’s water dish ...”

Being a grandparent is a different task altogether from what I hear.
Good luck.

Are you asking how to keep little girls busy?

Have a tea party, draw pictures, read a book, do their hair, or let them do yours, play with dolls, etc.
