I know, two posts in one day, what is the world coming to?
Just a quick post to mark what could be a significant change in our lives.
Today a friend called for Margarita (10 1/2 years). Not to set up a playdate, not to ask what the homework was in math class, but because she was "bored". She called...
Just.to.talk.
She got on right as I was taking Juan Carlos to his swimming class, and she was just getting off when I got home-about 50 minutes later.
She said, brimming with enthusiasm, "I've never talked on the phone just to talk. That was fun!"
At least it wasn't a boy, right?
Wow, you are in for it. My parents got lucky with me, I am very much not a phone chatter.
ReplyDeleteand so it begins.
ReplyDeleteMake it stop! I can't stand how fast she is growing.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is AMAZING! I can't believe that that was a hobby you picked up when we were neighbors. You have really developed that talent. Way to go!
Oh yes, the fun of having a girl has just begun! Say goodbye to your open phone lines.
ReplyDeleteI am a lot like you with projects. I don't stop working on a project until it is done, which can often result in unhappy children around me.
You have a great quilting talent! I hope we get to see the finished friendship quilt. What a neat idea!
Good for her! I'm so glad that she has friends and is happy and secure and had a good time talking on the phone. I know just how she feels, b ecause I got to talk with you today and it was exactly that much fun for me!
ReplyDelete...hold on tight....this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness...
ReplyDeletea new chapter has begun, but it will be a fun one...
ReplyDeleteMargarita is such a sweet girl! I bet a lot of boys will be calling before you know it (ha, especially here!)

just wait for the cell phone requests. And just for the record- UNLIMITED TEXTING or you will regret it- $$$ :) Haven't done a teenage daughter yet- but boys can be just as fun. Thanks for visiting- I actually got after my son for checking my blog during the week- but I figured it must be you after he denied it being him.
ReplyDeleteWelcome sister, we have been expecting you ;)
ReplyDeleteAh, the grow up so fast. Next she'll need texting.
