Visits at Grandma's

Abigail loves to visit Grandma Webb to help mom give her vitamin shakes. She recognizes when we pull up to Springdale, sometimes she will even giggle when we say "lets go visit Grandma!" She knows the whole drill, where the room is right down to the drawers that hold the powder shake. She has a whole routine when we go to Grandma's. It goes like this...Up first is her favorite part, the water fountain at the front. We can spend the whole visit playing with the rocks and water! Next is running down the hall ways avoiding mom and dad's attempts to catch her. Once we actually get in the room it is directly to Grandma's air mattress pressure gage box. She loves those buttons and twisting gages! Then, when mom has enough of running around after her, she loves to sit up on Grandma's bed and give Grandma affection (on a good day, most of the time it is crying and wiggling to get down and visit the water fountain again). She likes to pat Grandma's arm and give her hand kisses. Sometimes she will get real up close to Grandma's face. When the visit is over she will always kiss her hand and blow it to Grandma with a wave "Bye-bye" once her whole arm is extended from the kiss. I know that Grandma loves her visits, she will watch her and follow her with her eyes the whole time we are there. The nurses and patients love to see her walking down the halls too. We get a lot of comments about Abbey. I hope she brightens up every ones day as much as she does mine!

Abbey sure was cute that day... she was so interested in that washcloth on Mom's chest! I think she remembers Mom when she visits her. When my screensaver pictures of Mom pop up, Abbey gets really happy and points at her.

Abbey is an angel in an 18 month old body. It is pure service for her to go to her Grandma Webb's side as she does. I love it.
