Welcome to My World

This is my youngest grandchild, Marissa, and she and her sister stay with me 4-days a week. Marissa will be 3-years-old in August and she's a combination of baby and little girl. When she's really tired, she's Neenie's baby, when she is wide-awake, she is trouble on two feet. This morning she has been a little bit baby and a whole lot of "woke-up" trouble. She's been eating since she awakened this morning and has been sneaking into my computer chair every time I get up to go do one thing or another; mostly getting she and her sister something to eat.

The name that she says is her name is actually her nickname given to her by her daddy when she was still in her baby bed. Marissa, as you might have noticed, is thumb-sucker, but she is also part termite preferring a little wood with her daily diet. She was chewing up her baby crib.

Sometimes when she's asleep, I wonder how any child that looks so sweet and innocent can turn into  a holy terror at a moment's notice. This is the child that whacked her sister in the head with a mermaid, sending her sister to the Emergency Room and bragging about it last week. Ha, we have long term memory now, and if you don't believe it, she will remind you when you've forgotten that you promised her you would get her milk, in a minute, or put a video in the player for her.
