A MORNING WITH RONAN
Here’s how the call went yesterday morning at 7:54):
Across the driveway neighbor NANCY: Good morning,
Colleen, I hate to ask you this, and you can say NO if you want to; but our
nanny for today has just cancelled, and I have an appointment at my work in 50
minutes. There’s no time to get someone else from the nanny service, and
honestly, I trust you more than the substitute nanny. Could Ronan stay with you
just an hour and a half while I go to this appointment and come straight back
home? Fridays are my short days anyway, but I’ll just do my office work at home
today. I just need to be at this appointment…I cancelled on this client last
week when we went to California! (All of that was said in a furry of about 1
minute!)
COLLEEN: No problem, Nancy, bring him on over here.
I had a great time with Ronan here. When I first put him on
the floor, he crawled everywhere Then, he just got up and started walking
wherever he wanted to go. He was quite entertaining!
After Ronan checked out all of our house again, we pulled
out the corks, Tigger and a book to play with for a while. Those corks were a
big hit with Hugo and HC while they were here, and Ronan loved them, too. Take
them out of the plastic bowl. Put them in the plastic bowl. Stir them around.
Throw them away. Fetch them back. Make shapes with them.
You’ll see big smiles on some of the pictures. That’s when I
said, “Tigger, Tigger, Tigger!” really fast and he tried to do it, too. His
came out, “tiitaatiitaatiitaa!” He thought that was really funny! I did, too.
Thanks, Nancy, for sharing your son with me. As I told you,
don’t be surprised if I call up and ask if Ronan can come out to play some day!!
Colleen
