Little girls learn fast

Little Kammie stayed overnight Friday night with my husband and me while her Mom and Dad helped a friend celebrate his 30th birthday.

As usual, she spent most of her time following me around and rarely letting me get out of her sight, and not having much to do with her "Paw Paw" at all.

Bedtime was a bit of a struggle trying to get her to sleep in an unfamiliar setting -- a playpen set up in my office, carefully positioned so she couldn't reach my computer or papers on the desk, etc. She whined and fussed, but mean old "Grammy" just rubbed her back and talked to her in a soothing voice and refused to pick her up and let her get out.

That's when she decided to try her feminine wiles on her grandpa, sweetly calling out, "Paw-Paw, Paw-Paw" to the guy she'd ignored all evening, trying to get him to rescue her. She finally gave up and dozed off when he came in and gave her a kiss but wouldn't pick her up either. We got a good laugh at her tactics -- little girls learn fast, don't they!
