"...and Nonna and Papa and Lola!!!" This was a phrase we heard A LOT over the past month. My parents were in town for the month of June and they've just left to go back home. It is so sad to see them go - they had such a great time with Ruby and were able to play and do things with her that only grandparents can do. They did the zoo, fed the ducks, butterflies at the history museum, the carousel, the beach, countless games of hide and seek, numerous parks, and just spoiled that girl to no means (I mean, ice cream for lunch...? spoiled!)! Ruby and Lola became best of buds. We were so blessed to have them come and hang out in Santa Barbara with us and I was spoiled to not have to cook or go to the store for a whole month! Talk about wonderful! On top of that, they pretty much furnished our house and hung all our "art" and styled our house. Ummm... grandparents, personal shoppers, chefs, AND stylists?? COME BACK!!! :)
Ruby's language skills have just skyrocketed these past few weeks... I
think it's because her Nonna is a talker :) Full sentences, complete
thoughts, and she remembers random things and repeats them at
appropriate times... she's really growing up fast!
A common question Ruby asks these days is "Back?" as in "You're coming back, right?"... Friday night when she asked that question to them, and all of us knowing that no, they weren't coming back in the morning, was heartbreaking! I, of course, cried when they left. But, thankfully, two year olds don't always pick up on that kind of stuff and she remains unphased... although she's asked for Nonna, Papa, and Lola countless times today...
Thanks for coming Nonna and Papa... we love you!! Come back soon!
Have a Lovely Weekend.
