 My little Kiera!

You are such a sweet little girl and I sure love you.  

The other day we were talking and I don't remember about what because with you the conversation goes all over the place.  You asked me if I would be alive in 30 years and I said "probably not, what do you think of that?" and you said "I will miss you"  haha.  Papa says to me, don't ask if you don't want to know. For some reason it just cracked me up.

Always remember to be kind to everyone you meet ok?  

I love you

 My dear little Kiera

Five years old going on 25 years old.  The things you say just crack me up coming from a 5 year old. 

I was talking with you and Caden on the phone and I said "I miss you Caden" and you said "she doesn't miss me because we talk all the time"  haha, and yes we do, you facetime me all the time. 

Yesterday we were talking and there was something you wanted from your mama and now I don't remember what it was, but you muted yourself and I said "Why did you mute?" and you said "because I don't want you to hear me complain" and I said "Why does that matter, I will always love you no matter what" and you said "You don't have to say that" and I asked "what don't I have to say?" and you said "that you love me because I already know you will always love me"  What an awesome thing to know for sure because it is so true , I will love you forever.

The other morning we were on the road back from Florida and I called you guys at 7:45 and everyone was still in bed. And I said I was sorry to call so early and you said "It is not a problem Grami" and you asked me how did I sleep and sometimes you ask me how my day is going! haha. Then we were talking about something and you said you have mysterious powers.  and I said "oh yes, you have powers over all of us" :)

Then we were facetiming and I said I needed to hang up for 10 minutes because I had to wash and condition my hair.  Then when you called me back your daddy was getting ready to wash your hair because you put shampoo and conditioner on it and of course you couldn't wash it out, but you wanted to be like grami.  Your parents are both working from home and you are sometimes on your own.  Too funny

I love you so much little lady

 My dear Kiera,

You are such a sweet little girl and so full of love, it makes my heart melt for you. 

I won't be able to see you for Thanksgiving because of this stupid virus and I am so missing all my little grandbabies.  Life is so short and when you get to be my age, it just goes quicker and quicker.  So, I hate to miss out of things. 

The other day we were talking on Facetime and you wanted me to read you one of your library books.  I said sure!  Well, first off you had a filter on with dancing french fries popping up over the book. and then you were holding the book upside down, on one side, etc and I kept trying to get you to move it just right so I could see it and read it.  Then you were wiggling it and my eyes were going wacky!   It didn't bother you one bit.  You are so patient (most of the time)  Impatience is something we learn, kids are not impatient.  

I love you sweet baby girl

 Oh Kiera!

You are the most precious.  Your daddy called me tonight and you took the phone to talk to me and remember you are 5.   You said "So, how are things going with you down there?"  "How is the pool, are you swimming?" " I have been missing you so much" ( we just left on Sunday and today is Wednesday)  Way to melt my heart.

I said "Oh Kiera, I wish you would come see me " and you said " I really want to come see you so much but school work is a problem" and I told you you could do it here and you say " I could never leave my daddy and mommy, I love them so much and I can't leave them"  I said, well, then you will have to bring them with you and you said "I will talk with mommy and we will make a plan"

I sure hope you make a plan.  I love you so much. 

Then I had to take the phone outside to Papa because you wanted to say hi to him also

 My precious little Kiera!

You are Caden spent the night with Papa and me at the lake house last weekend and you are just the sweetest little girl.  Well, now sometimes you get mad or mean, but then you always apologize.  One time you said "I am sorry for the madness yesterday"  how could I ever be mad at you?

Papa was parking his boat in the boathouse and you and Caden ran to go with him and when you got back you said "Papa is the best, he helped me in the boat, he helped me out of the boat, he helped me walk on the board between the boats and walk on the path.  I told him he was the best"   You are always very appreciative of everything. 

Everyone celebrated my birthday yesterday and you made me a card, a painting, a book, a sticker art, about 5 or 6 different things.  It was so awesome. 

I love you baby girl

 My dear Kiera,

Yesterday I was at your house and you carried your small bike out over your head and I was duly impressed and you said "I wanted you to be amazed"!!

Then you said to me "I want to come to your house, I don't like it here anymore" and I just smiled and you said "I"M telling you, I don't like it"

Then you did something and I said "I am glad you listen to your mama" and you said " well, I don't always, but i should"

You are such a character, you sure make me laugh

I love you

xxooi

Oh my sweet Kiera,
I forgot to tell you one day I said boy you need some meat on your bones and a few weeks later you asked me if it was meat on my arm and i said "well, yes, but it is all wrinkly and old and your arm is so nice" and you said " you are beautiful even if it is wrinkly"  how does a 4 year old know to say that.  How sweet.  These things just come to you so easily to say to everyone.
I love you baby girl

My dear Kiera
You sure a quite a character!  You and Caden have been coming to my house every Monday and Wednesday and you are not always happy to come because both your parents are home with the pandemic and I think you hate to leave.  One day you told me, "I didn't want to come, my parents forced me!"  haha, so  brutely honest. Another day you said " I have been busy every day at my house"
You were at the lake house over the 4th and I hugged you when you were going home and said Thank you so much for coming and you said " I wanted to come, I was super excited"  So, that makes up for the times you didn't want to come.  Of course it helps when Bryce and Bowen are here.  Then you want to come.
You did something the other day and I asked why you did it and you said "the devil made me do it"  and I wasn't sure you knew what you were saying, so I asked what you said and you repeated it and said " don't you know about the devil? he lives in .....heaven...(as you roll your big eyes) or I don't know where he lives"
Then one day you were talking about birthday's and you just can't believe that you have to give treats to everyone else on YOUR birthday, why is that? that is just not right!
Papa always teases you and says you are full of bologna and you tell him you are full of love!  haha, yes you are, at least most of the time
I love you
xxoo

My precious little Kiera,
I love you so much my little one.
The other day you were at the house and we were talking about grand parents and why were we called grandma and grandpa and I said "because it is grand to be a grandma, since I am not a mama anymore and you said "oh ya, I took your son, but wait, I didn't take him because I wasnt born, it was my mommy that took him"
You crack me up.  The things that come out of a 4 years old mouth are pretty outstanding.
I love you so much
xxoo

My sweet Kiera
the other day, you were here and you no sooner got here and you were wanting something to eat because you were really hungry.  so I said "What did you have for lunch?" and you said

"peanut butter sandwich, snap peas, carrots, fruit, cucumber (which sounds like a lot to me)  mommy doesn't feed me much"

Oh my!! that cracked me up, I think you had a really big lunch but you poor thing, your mommy doesn't feed you much. :)

I love you

xxoo

My dear little Kiera,
You are seriously like a sponge, you hear something once and you remember it. The things that come out of your mouth are incredible. I am so impressed with how smart you are.
You were at my house yesterday and we were reading a book called "Nobody cares about me"  and I told you that I bought that book for Uncle Bryan when he was a little boy b/c he always thought no one cared about him (he was the oldest of three boys). Anyhow, when I told you that you said "I care about him!"  and then you said "well, when he was little I wasn't born yet, but I would have cared about him then too"  Isn't that the sweetest?  So, I sent a text to tell everyone what you said and Uncle Bryan responded and said "awe, give her a hug for me".  So, your mommy read you all the texts and you said "well, aren't you going to give me a hug from Uncle Bryan?"   You are so silly and I love you so much

My sweet little Kiera!
you are so precious and I love you so much.  We are in the middle of the pandemic of 2020 and I haven't been able to see you, however, your we are starting to see each other a little bit now.
The other day I was on the phone with your daddy and I said I would sew masks for all of you to have and your little voice in the background says "together?"  b/c I have helped you sew on my sewing machine and you love it.  And when I said I was going to sew, you wanted to help do them.  And about three times that little voice in the background says "together?"  awe, made me feel so sad, you wanted to be there to help me sew.  I would have loved that.  I told you when this is all over, we will get together and sew something and you  said "an apron with pockets"  haha.   We can even go to the store and buy our material together.
you are so special to me Kiera and I love you more than life

My precious Kiera,
We face timed yesterday and we were talking to each other and I asked how you were doing and you said "bad" and I said "oh no, why are you doing bad?" and you said "because I want you to be home".  Wow! melt my heart. 
We are heading home in two weeks. and I have a cuddle time scheduled with you
I love you

My precious Kiera,
We all just got back from our family cruise and you were so stinkin cute.  You did not let that cast stop you one little bit.  I was pushing you on a big swing and you said "grammie are you doing good?, I am doing good"   wow, you are so positive, I guess it is us adults that teach being negative, because you sure do not have a negative bone in you. 
Your mommy sent me a video of you last night bouncing in her bedroom on your butt and smiling away.  and your fluffy hair and smiles just makes me want to cuddle you so bad, I can hardly take it.
I love you so much little lady

My precious little Kiera!
I am in Florida and I miss you so much, but we are going to see you next week and I can't wait to see you.  We are all taking a cruise.
However, you broke your leg last week skiing.  So, I can tell you that everyone is so worried about you.  Your mommy and daddy are sick about it all,  your daddy has had stomach pain every since it happened and he did go to dr and dr said he couldn't find anything. So, I am sure it is just stress.  I think I feel worse for them than you.  It is all so sad, but you just keep smiling and have such a great attitude.  I talked to you after it happened and you said "guess what Grammie, I am a member of the broken bone club "(I told Caden that when he broke his arm), you were so excited, cracked me up.  I said "oh man Kiera, I could have cried and you said " were you crying for happy and were you sad"  so of course I said "i am crying for happy that you are now a member of the broken bone club" 
I couldn't tell you how I really felt.  You are just such a sweetheart, I love you so much.
The same day you got your cast you had to be fitted with glasses b/c of a lazy eye.  Poor little girl, of course, you are excited about the glasses too.  You told me "I get to wear them the rest of my life"!!! haha.  Only a four year old would think that is wonderful.
After two days in a cast you are already scooting on the floor on your butt!!  cracked me up, but what a little inspiration to all of us.  Kids are so resilient and perfect
I love you baby doll
see you soon
xxoo
