little books

She loves little books with lovely pictures.

bee-you-tea-full new nightgown.

Here she is today  :-)

She's had her sponge bath and 

she's wearing her new nightgown.

bee-you-tea-full!

The nightgown actually came a few days ago, but 

I didn't put it on when I changed her out until

 today, because she was just loving looking at it.

Now that it's on her, she can't see the ribbon anymore.

time to wash that hair!

Our new in bed hair wash system works really well!

Mom wasn't in such a good mood AFTER her hair was washed,

Glad I got the pic before.  :-)

sleepy, happy day

It's been a sleepy, happy day.

Here she is just after a sponge-bath with warm salt water.

I think it was very refreshing!

I hope your imaginations can "unblur" her smile. 

Stephan gets a prize for the best son-in-law in the world.

(PS - there are an infinite number of prizes for best son-in-law

"best" is a flexible set and can hold more than one value.)

I am doing it :-)

I'm begging and pleading for a smile as she looks at me like I'm crazy.  Until she finally makes this face and says: "I AM doing it."  So, I give up.  She's adorable.  Who could call this face she's making "not a smile""

(Note: the band-aid are because she's been scratching at that mole on her forehead.  She's fiddled with it before and made it bleed and get infected - years ago when she still lived in Factoryville.  I'm hoping the band-aids will keep her from messing with it until it heals.  One band-aid is insufficient.  She pulls it off.  So far - one day - two have stayed on just fine.)

Sixty years ago today

Happy Sixtieth Anniversary to Daddy and Mommy!

for Pete, and Jeanie, and Marjie

Me: "Can you give me a big smile for Pete, and Jeanie, and Marjie?"

Mom: "Yes, I can do that."
