I’M IN TORONTO AGAIN

 After driving all day we are back in Toronto. We came to visit my daughter, my sister and hubby’s brother and sister. I also want to see my cousin so will have to call her soon. Tonight we will see my daughter. The rest tomorrow. Hubby wants to go home Sunday. I am not sure yet.
Yesterday I was supposed to pick up my grandson(my son’s son). Anyhow my other grandson had a headache so my son picked him up and took him home. He called me to ask me to pick up my granddaughter at the same time. He said I could juts bring her home. He also said that he felt bad for her because I missed taking her on Tuesday. He suggested I keep her too or maybe pick her up at supper time when I dropped my grandson off for his baseball game. Well I was upset. I didn’t know what to do. My grandson likes me all to himself. I also like to be alone with him. Anyhow I picked them up and explained the situation. My grandson started to cry. I tried to explain to both of them how hard it was for me to pick them up individually etc. I realized quickly that they could care less, were too young for my explanation etc. We went to a local store so they could buy junk. We went back into the car. They sat together and my grandson decided she could stay with us. What a relief! He still didn’t like the idea but he gave in. I told him he was a very good sport! We had a good time. We went to play mini golf and then out for supper.
We went to Future Shop. When we got to the cash my grandson and I were talking about a game he couldn’t find. The cashier said he had it at home, he didn’t play it anymore and would be happy to give it to my grandson. He wrote down his name, phone number and address. So my grandson was happy.
I took them home after supper. My grandson got ready to play baseball. I followed them in the car. My son said it would only take five minutes to get to the baseball field. It took more like fifteen to twenty minutes…………So I knew where the filed was. I drove back to get the game and then back to watch my grandson play baseball.
I spoke to my DIL. I will now try to take the children about lunch time. So they will miss camp in the afternoon but we will have more time together and I can do something meaningful with them instead of rushing around. My grandson mentioned Ottawa so maybe one day I can take him there.
It is a real challenge to spend time with my grandchildren individually but I really love it.
So I think I will go swimming or at least relax. We have a busy weekend ahead.
Are you watching the Olympics? It is so thrilling to see what the kids can do with their bodies. I feel sad for the ones who lose by a few seconds. I can’t imagine how they feel.
So take care. Be good. If not name it after me. LOL!
