And for good reason. I just don't trust a person who likes to clean so I have to watch her closely to get to understand her.
As this photo shows, just give her a damp cloth and she is happy shining mirrors or wiping up spilled milk.
Today the kids had pancakes for breakfast, dollar-sized pancakes. Their mom left for Costco and I came over to watch them for a while. I saw Betty adding extra Maple Syrup to her pancakes as soon as her mother was out the door. The pancakes were already swimming in the maple syrup by time I could grab back the jug.
I thought to myself, just let her enjoy what she has there.
What I loved is that she leaned down to lick the syrup off her her plate -- why put the pancake in her mouth when she could just have syrup. She must have done this before, for I saw her take her both hands and hold back those curly blonde locks so that they didn't fall in the syrup as she was running her tongue around in it.
I love being a grandparent, sitting back and watching incidents like these happen, feeling no need to discipline or interrupt childhood happiness.
