Playing With Dada

While GG and Pawpaw were by far the favorite this past week Jeff and I did get a few minutes of fun with Clare.  Gail has saved a number of Jeff’s old toys, I suppose she’s been hanging onto them for the last 30 years for a time just like this, when his little girl was over and wanted to play.  Among some of the toys are Lincoln Logs, cars, a few trucks, some books and ‘peoples’.  Clare had fun with all of them.

Jeff built a number of Lincoln Log houses, only for Clare to come in and take the roof off or try and put her doll inside. 

By the end of the week Clare was getting pretty tired so an impromptu nap with Dada seemed perfect.

 

Jeff has always loved books and never says no to reading a book to Clare.  We’d made a stop earlier in the week at Books A Million and Clare was thrilled with her new Lama Lama and ‘Cow’ books. 

It was a wonderful trip; everyone had fun.  Clare loved being the center of GG and Pawpaw’s attention, and Jeff and I enjoyed a bit of a break.  But, at the end of the day when Clare asked where her Mama and Dada were were probably my most favorite moments; it was nice to know that we were still important.
