GRANDAUGHTERS

Tomorrow is my grangdaughters birthday. She will be 5 years old. Where did those years go? She is a sweet little girl. She seems to be the happiest when she does things for others. I think she gets that from her Grandma. And I'm really impressed by how she looks after her cousin Candace. She will go toe to toe with anyone when it comes to Candace. I have found this out first hand many times.



Emma still uses a "binky". Usually just when she sleeps. But really any time she is nervous. It's really not her fault. It was just always easier to give it to her rather than try to break her of using it. There were always reasons but really comes down to being lazy on our part. Last year Emma was starting to show interest in going fishing with me. So I figured great maybe I can get her to stop using the binky. So I told her she couldn't go until she stopped using it. She told me she would stop on her next birthday. Well then thats when you can start going fishing I told her. There really hasn't been much said about it since. Then the other day she said we could go fishing after her birthday because she won't be using her binky! It seems like she really will stop. I hope so, I can use a fishing buddy.



You hear people say "the best thing about grandkids is you can send them home". Well for me it's that I get a second chance. I really wasn't a very good father to my daughters. Ya I went to work so we could live decent but thats pretty much where it stopped. I could write forever on how I wasn't a good father. But theres no way of going back so I'll just try to do better this go around!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA
