There are definite advantages and disadvantages to having the same family doctor as your daughter.

I got a call last week from Missy informing me that she had just made appointments for both of us to get our flu shots. So this morning we met at the doctor's office and each got our shots. Thanks Missy for taking such good care of your old mother.

Today I get to pick up my sweet grandbaby from day care. I worry about what she is thinking when I pick her up. She always comes to me. In fact, she usually asks me to carry her out. But she has such a solemn look on her face. Like she's just not sure what to make of the fact that I'm there. By the time we get in the house she's smiling and talking but it's that look when she sees me come and get her. There are so many times I wish I see what that little girl is thinking. We'll see what happens today.

Terry stopped by last night and dropped off the presents for Missy's birthday. This way she can't see them and she also can't try to get Terry to give them to her early. He's really catching on to her ways. This may be the first birthday that she has had to wait until her actual birthday to open her presents. I will take them over with me when I go for her party on Sunday. Good thinking Terry.
