Ivy called me Sunday to see if she could come to my house on Monday since she didn't have school. Of course...I love having my grands over. She said it would be better if she could just spend the night so she wouldn't have to wake up so early. I agreed that would be better. (I love that Ivy and my other grands like to spend the night with us) So Ivy spent the night. She was planning on sleeping on a mat in Kimi's room but Kimi is the one that ended up sleeping on the mat because Ivy feel asleep in her bed first. I love how kind my kids are to my cute grands. They all love each other so much.
Ivy was up pretty early anyway since Kimi and Jared did have to get up to go to school. We enjoyed the morning and then I made her favorite breakfast....pancakes...with chocolate chips. (at least that's her favorite at my house) I made big pancakes so she would only need one. It filled her up. ☺
The only thing I wanted to do today was take a little gift to an old friend of mine. When I delivered Kimleighel two other mom's were also delivering baby girls. Kimleighel was the only one that was born breathing....the other two passed away before their birth. Larry had seen the father of one in the hall. He knew Dennis and came back to my room with tears in his eyes and told me what was happening in the other two rooms. We had monitors in our rooms that also showed what was happening in the other rooms and Larry and noticed that the other two rooms only had one monitor that was active. (it makes sense...the baby monitors had nothing to monitor) Later I had heard that a childhood friend of mine was the other mom. Recently I reconnected with Julie on facebook and messaged her asking if that rumor was true. She told me that it was .... Julie was the other mom. Knowing that for sure made me sad all over again for Julie and the other mom. My heart grew bigger and had more compassion, sympathy and love for all mom's that loose their babies and especially those two on March 23, 1996. I felt strongly that I should express my love and sympathy to Julie and so Ivy and I went and found a sweet Willow Angel and a Single Rose. We took it to Julie's and left it on the porch. I received a sweet message from Julie later. She said that when she saw them she just had a very strong feeling....even a little voice tell her that they were from me. She said she just knew before she read the card. I think that's pretty cool....I know that same little voice told me to do it.
I took Ivy to Kneaders after since she had never been there. It was fun spending the day with my cute grand. I can't believe how fast they grow up. I loved it when a lady walked by us and told Ivy how pretty or cute she was. Ivy smiled and I told her that people did that all the time when she was little. I'm so thankful that I get to enjoy my grands so much.
