Last weekend my parents came to visit. I LOVE IT when my parents are able to come see us. They came up on Saturday early afternoon. We had a birthday party to go to for my cousin's hubby. Elizabeth didnt take to Paps Dan very well b/c he scared her from the get-go with his goofiness, and that poor girl did not forget all weekend. I felt bad for my dad b/c everytime he held her, or even looked at her, she cried. She has never had a problem with Papa before, so I'm hoping it was just a one time deal! She has always been a Papa's girl. Everytime we see my parents, it seems my dad is the 1st one to take Elizabeth from Mommy and play goofy with her!
This time around though, it seemed as if Nana Ann had the upper hand, and could make Elizabeth happy and comfortable! Nana Ann was also able to spend more time with E beings there were no other kids or distractions that she had to "attend" to! They were able to witness Elizabeth's roll-over, and smiles, and laughs. They even got to watch part of the Packer game with her. She LOVES her packer games!
Like always, their trips are never long enough! There is never enough time in the days/nights! It's hard living 1 1/2 hours from my parents (but I do realize it COULD be worse!). There is jealousy at times when I know my parents get to see the other grandkids way more often that they get to see Elizabeth, but that's just something I will have to deal with, unless I move closer to home, which at times, I am tempted to do! I just dont want Elizabeth to play strange when it comes to seeing Nana & Papa. It will break my heart. It makes me remember how things were when my niece Hailey was younger, and I had moved away. For the longest time, she played strange with me b/c she never saw me, and this broke my heart. But, once she got older she would remember me, and I wasnt a stranger anymore.
Before my parents left on Sunday my mom layed Miss E down for a nap. That little girl MUST have been tuckered out from her visit with Nana & Papa because she slept for 4-5 hours STRAIGHT! It's been a while since she has taken that long of a nap! I had to periodically check on her to make sure she was still breathing b/c this long of a nap was just unheard of lately!
It was a great weekend, and of course we were all sad to see mom & dad go. But, I know we will see them again soon, and I am sure that there will be new things for them to see next time.
