Ettie, Bree’s grandma, announced over the phone on Wednesday that she is coming for a visit. She asked Bree’s mum and I what she had to bring with her. Living over in Sydney made her feel guilty for not spending enough time with Bree, so she has a tendency to spend a fair bit buying goodies for the child. (She bought Bree a tricycle the last time she was here. It was an online purchase, timed to reach here before her. Unfortunately, the tricycle was a wee bit too big.) Once she is here, she likes to play full-time grandma by participating as much as she can.
Ettie will be here next Friday which means that I will have the following Monday off. I have been told by Ettie that I will be looking after her and Bree on the day after that. That means that we are going off somewhere for the day. This is all good news to me as I need the day off so I can try to get as much of my first assignment done as possible between now and then. I didn’t go to the library as planned last Sunday and that decision has been bothering me ever since. Spending a day with Ettie and Bree is going to be fun. We are likely to go out for morning tea. The woman has a bit of a sweet tooth, like me. She is a pleasant lady to spend time with and she certainly doesn’t put on airs like a few grandmothers I have met as a nanny. Ettie always makes sure that I feel welcomed and comfortable in everything that we do together. I wonder if Bree’s parents have told her about the lollies. I think she will laugh her head off at her grand-daughter’s antics.
