As promised - an embarrassing long time ago - Grand daughter pictures. Brace yourself. This post is picture heavy.
 |
| So every time she comes for a visit I try to get a decorated cookie for her. |
 |
| This was from her last visit to our condo before my husband began his treatment and needed to avoid infections. And as everyone know, kids in school are little petrie dishes of germs. As this writing his last treatment is tomorrow. Hoping we can return to her regular visits soon. I sure do miss her. |
 |
| So this looks odd, right?? This was from last summer when she and I did a sleep over at my daughter’s house. Esk thought of it as a spa event - hence the sliced cucumbers over her eyes. She is such an animated kid. |
 |
| This is from her marital arts class. Her parents keep her very busy. |
 |
| This is from that same class. The kids are learning to roll safely. |
 |
| This is an old picture. She much younger, but what I loved about this picture is her drawing. Silly me! I didn’t realize that scientists wear crowns!! |
 |
| I made this picture larger so you could read what she wrote and see her picture. It is an older poster. She was just learning to write last year (kindergarten) and sounding out words. What what is really interesting is her drawn picture of herself on the flag ... also with a crown. I am hoping that in first grade they cover the topic that our presidents don’t wear crowns!! |
 |
| She was in a drama summer camp that put on a play! Notice. Another crown. What she really wants to be is a princess (thank you Disney.). I have tried to aim her goals higher. Shoot for Queen!!!! :-) Nope! Princess it is. |
 |
| I love this little person more than words can say. Check out the art work! Another crown. |
 |
| This is how she dressed for picture day in 1st grade this year. Her mother let her decide what she would wear. Esk wanted the full deal - make up and nail polish - and her mother drew the line on those final details. But this little girl doesn’t need any that to pull off a picture full of attitude! I think the shoes add a special touch. And if you missed it - check out the crown!!!! |
 |
| Dance class from last spring I believe. |
 |
| This past summer her parents took her to a local playground. I think my son captured this picture that he titled “I am the captain.” Apparently she arranged to have her playground friends spin her around and he overheard her saying ... I am the captain. 🤣 This girl ... she has a way about her. |
 |
| But of all pictures, this one of my favorites. She really is so many wonderful things. She has amazing language skills, is very bright, has a wonderful imagination, a pretty good sense of what is right and wrong (and sometimes I get “schooled” on that), a way of interacting with her peers that speaks volumes about her future leadership qualities. She is an animated 'mover and shaker' at 6 years old. She has my son’s beautiful eyes and her mother’s lovely mouth. Look out world!!! That is my very wonderful grand daughter. |
