Summer . 2021. Almost over the pandemic? Birthday party time!!
Day after tomorrow is my sweet granddaughter's 7th birthday. Everyone thinks they have the best grandkid. I honestly do not know how we got the beautiful, smart , funny as hell one that we got. I don't know how we warp speeded through the last seven years , but I sure as hell don't know how she is going to be SEVEN.
She and I have been through our own health battles .I remember how fragile she was when she was born. But she is a fighter . She is strong , you would not know now that she had a tough beginning.
She is bright , she made it through this school year , and almost half of last year , doing school remotely. She was able to do well with her school work during this pandemic . She has computer skills much better than mine. Her over all school work was great . What impressed me was how quickly she could improve her reading skills . She seemed to have a bit of trouble in the beginning of the school year with reading, but once she caught on it was like a house afire!! She did a month of her schooling this year remotely from her her other Grandmother's home in Senegal, Africa.
Last year we had a "pandemic party " for her birthday. It was kind of cute but mostly sad. We sent out invites for the kids to join us celebrating Laity's birthday with a car "parade" . We sat at the corner of our street as some of her classmates went by in decorated (some) cars and waved to her friends as they drove by and said happy birthday out their car windows.
Finally the pandemic seems to have slowed to a crawl . It's still lurking but because of vaccinations it is a bit safer. This year we found a place to have a party for her Birthday!! YaY . We would not of last year anyway because the pandemic was an insane time . (Still is.)
This year Laity learned how to roller skate and we thought we could have h roller skate party. the kids will be skating and wearing mask, having cupcakes and it will be almost like old times! We've invited kids from her dance class , they already know social distance protocol and practice it at dance. I think it will be a fun time , and nice to see some people I haven't seen in a while.
So Pandemic's almost done , HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY LAITY!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
