And The Race Is On

EVERY DAY IS A PARADE

Who’s faster than a mouse being chased by a cat? Faster than a cat being chased by a dog? Faster than a dog being chased by a kid? Faster than a kid on all fours heading to the dog’s water bowl? The answer is -- a Grandma. My granddaughter learned to crawl last month. She graduated from the army crawl. Let me tell she had the army crawl down perfectly and did it impressively quick, but the crawling is quicker. Yet I can still get to whatever she has her eyes on across the room faster than a speeding bullet. The other day she and her brother were over for a visit. Soon after she arrived for the visit she spotted my dog’s water bowl and made her way to splash her hands in it. Well this became a game to see who could get to the water bowl first, me or her. After the first splash, I was definitely the winner. Oh, but she kept trying and thought she was funny. She would eye me, then the water bowl and ZOOM the race was on. This kept her entertained for awhile until I was tired enough to finally pick the water bowl off the floor. She was disappointed for a bit, but what’s better than splashing in the dog’s water dish? The answer is -- splashing in the kiddie pool. Her grandma knows how to have fun.
