a visit from mama

I had trepidation about how the weekend would go. It went fine. Thank God. The girl did fine. Her baby sister however was jealous of her being around and competeing for attention and consistently threw fits and even bonked her on the head once. They all went to the zoo including the other mawmaw. The girl enjoyed it especially the alligators and the alligator snapping turtles. Her mother did tell me that the girl did have two wetting accidents, one where she wet the bed. I tried to explain that she is under stress and is conflicted, probably dreaming some things too and that we would be working on them as soon as possible. SHe spent Friday and Saturday nights at other mawmaw's. Sunday moring after church she was ready for me to come get her. We were taking the trampoline down from the old house and taking it to our house so after we got it loaded into the truck I went over. We had a good visit. Her mama seemed ok. Not so nervous or high strung. The mawmaw said that she did much better this time. Didn't get hyper and was in bed by 8:15!. Chasing 2 kids and going to the zoo had to take it's toll. It is hard for me to not go to sleep when I lay down with the girl. The plan is for her to come to our house next Saturday for part of the day. I think that is a good idea. She can interact with her while I get some work done around here.
