Missing you

Our 4 year old daughter went to stay with my wife's parents this week. She was very excited about going.

On Monday night we were just having dinner before they set off. Our little girl is hovering around her Nanny waiting for her to finish her meal. As soon as Nanny had picked up the last forkfull the plate was whisked away by the little one and she came back to drag her Nanny to the car. Talk about eager.

My wife called her Mum last night to see how they were getting on.

In the background she can hear our daughter asking, "Is that Mummy, Nanny?" So Nanny put her on the phone.

"Mummy, are you picking me up tonight afternoon or in the morning afternoon?" She's still learning about time

"I'm not coming to get you until Friday, sweetie."

Excitedly, "Oh good. Bye."

It's good to feel wanted.
