How could I resist when Erin called me and asked if I could come spend a couple of days because she needed a babysitter? Well, I couldn't, so I packed my bags and headed to northern Maryland over the weekend. I was supposed to go home today, but it turns out I'm needed tomorrow too!
I always look forward to seeing Shylee and this time was no exception. She is a sweetheart most of the time. I have to tell you, she has been a real challenge this visit. Temper tantrums, back talking, telling me 'no' when I tell her to do something, arguing, and all around unpleasant to be around. I have been relieved to leave her and retreat to my hotel room each evening! That's the advantage of being the Grandma!
I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Those pics of Shylee are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI guess she is testing how far she can go with you ;-)
take care,

Giving Grandma a run for her money!! ;-) I love her curls!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty lucky with my kids, they weren't tantrum throwers very often at all. That's one thing that gets under my skin, so it's probably a good thing they weren't!
Enjoy the rest of your visit.
she's adorable!! I know just what you mean about being a grandma...love 'em unconditionally, but relief to go away for peace and quiet. Yep, yep.
ReplyDeleteMy grandsons are 17 and 23!!! The teen is a handful. LOL [I can honestly say, I'm glad my child -and teen- rearing days are over.
Again, Shylee is sweet...those brown eyes are gonna melt some guy's heart someday all too soon.
Shylee is getting to be such a pretty little girl - before she was an adorably pretty little toddler. My don't they grow up quickly ? Too quickly !
ReplyDeleteLooks like she is testing her power of your limitations. Yes the greatest thing about being a grandparent is that we don't have to endure all the grandchildren's bad days, 24 hours a day every day, all year long. We can just give them a hug and a kiss and hand them back to dear mommy and daddy. :D
Just wait til she's 14...lol :)
ReplyDeleteShe's such a cutie, I bet it's hard to be annoyed for too long!
There is a reason young people are the ones who have children!! My little grand can wear us both to a frazzle in 2 hours.
ReplyDeleteShe is growing up before our eyes, gorgeous shots :)
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like a teenager,
LOL!!! :)
Don't we "test" the ones we love :)
Hope you had a restful time at the hotel :)
Have a lovely evening, cheers, T. :)
