May. 15, 2008 - Ba-NANA Pudding
My mom lived with us for too years before recently getting married. (Just kidding Jennifer -- two years, just making sure you were paying attention) She now lives about an hour away. My daughter misses her terribly. Julia has been asking Nana if they could make banana pudding together. Early yesterday, Mom had a doctor's appointment, then came to our house -- with ingredients. 
Julia was surprised to see her. They made ba-NANA pudding together. It was the highlight of her week.
In the afternoon, after Nana had gone, Julia was playing with some toys saying, "This is George, this is Nana, and this is Julia." I asked, "Where's Mommy?" She pushed all the other toys aside (except George, Nana and herself) and delcared, "Mommy's not here." That made me feel great! 
Mom's "house" downstairs is still furnished like it was when she lived here. This is quite confusing for Julia who constantly asks if "Nana's coming home when she's done with that?" I assume "that" is George. 
She's too funny.
I guess it will be easier for her to understand when we move. Or when Nana's stuff is not in the basement anymore.

That's so sweet! I wish my kids could have that kind of relationship with their grandmas, but they're two (hee hee) far away. *sigh* Of course part of that's my doing. I made Hubby promise that his mother will always be at least a day and a half drive away. 8)
Enjoy your pudding!

That's a wondeful thing to do with Nana! Our Nana (who is my kids' great-grandmother) makes amazing Banana Bread. We call it Nana-Banana Bread. She has handed down the recipe in her old age (she is 91), and we enjoy having her over to help us make it.
