with my soon to be 8 year old granddaughter
Her birthday is next Friday, the 25th. I went shopping yesterday for her birthday gifts. I pick her up from school on Wednesdays, so I wrapped two of the smaller packages and had them sitting on my sewing table.
Of course when we got home this afternoon, that was the first thing she saw were the wrapped gifts and asked if they were hers. I also had my GE box sitting there and her eyes got huge and said are these mine too...huh oohh. Needless to say, she is upset. She said all that is for Bogie's secret buddy and these two are all I have.
I appeased her a little by telling her I spent more on her gifts, and that I hadn't wrapped her big gift, but a child looks a quantity not $$ spent. She was good with it after I showed her a few of the doggie gifts. Why didn't I think and hide the GE box.
I now feel like a bad NaNa.
