Since Amara is spending the night with her other Grandma I’m going to take advantage of the opportunity to post another “Previously on Amara”. I hope you enjoy it.
Amara has always been pretty good about sharing her things but then so have the cats. They all claim ownership of the backyard. And when Amara was young she was sure some of the cat toys were really hers! I think the cats are under the impression that since they are here all of the time that they get first claim to everything.
Twiggy and Twursula have both taken turns sleeping in Amara’s room. They would often sleep on or under her bed when she wasn’t here. When Amara was about two Twiggy went through a phase of sleeping at the foot of her bed when she was here, kind of protecting her. Amara really didn’t like it, she thought Twiggy kept her awake. But at some point the cats decided between themselves that if Amara wasn’t here – it’s Twursula’s room. Still is. For about the last month Twursula has taken to napping next to Amara’s toy box, but she is always in there somewhere.
But for the longest time Twursula slept right in the middle of Amara’s bed. If she wasn’t outside she was on Amara’s bed. And Twiggy could always be found in the middle of our bed. Amara and I used to joke when I would go over there.
Do you know where Twiggy was sleeping?
On your bed.
Do you know where Twursula was sleeping?
On my bed!
She must have been about 4. She had been over playing and had left her pink princesses sleeping bag laid out in the middle of the floor in her room. And there was Twursula. Sleeping.
So when I went over to her house that day I asked her
Do you know where Twiggy was sleeping?
On your bed.
Do you know where Twursula was sleeping?
On my bed!
No!
You forgot and left your sleeping bag out and Twursula is sleeping on it.
She gets this very thoughtful look on her face…
Oh Grandma, I did that on purpose. I was tired of her sleeping on my bed.
Sure Amara, you left in there on purpose! The kid sure can think fast!

You’re such a fun Grama! And Amara is going to have such a great time reading this blog someday! I would love to have something like this written by my Grama about me!!! xoxox
I hope Amara does love it — like you I would love to have one from either of my Grandma’s. I bet they would have lots of stories to tell me.
They sure do think fast. My granddaughter has difficulty with her R. So at the barbecue, ribs, became “I like wibs.” My husband says, “Oh, you like wibs?” “Oh, grandpa, that’s not how you say it. Maybe you’ll be able to say it when you get older!”
Now if Grandpa pulled that here Amara would come back with “Grandpa! You’re doing that thing again!” Silly Grandpas!
Thanks for visiting! Grandma Kc
[...] straight to the door. As for Twursula, by bedtime she’s usually been sleeping for hours already, probably in Amara’s room! Occasionally she is sitting out on the Cat Freeway but she will let me just scoop her up and take [...]
