We visited Grandma and Papa and enjoyed all our usual traditions. This time, while Lizzy was busy helping Grandma make cookies, Peter decided to dive into a workbook that Grandma had gotten him. Papa helped him with his work. They kept working and working, and chatting and visiting.......we couldn't pull them away. Peter was a machine, and Papa was right there encouraging him the whole time. When we got home, Peter told me, "Mommy, did you know that Papa is my friend? I mean, he's always been my friend, but now, he's my best friend." Later, while I was putting on his pajamas, Peter quietly said to me, "Mommy, I did way more work than Lizzy today. I don't want to hurt her feelings, so I'm only telling you, but I did way more work than Lizzy." I think that everyone loves to have something to do, and someone to pay attention to them. Today, Peter was lucky enough to have both.
