“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” Fred Rogers
I woke up this morning, after being away for a week at my 365 Vegas Meetup, to find a little girl at the side of my bed yanking on my pillow and saying “Up YaYa! UP! Play! Me!” over and over . . . until I finally rolled on to the floor and played “blocks’ with her. As much as I enjoyed my time with my fellow 365’ers, I really missed my precious little Grand Daughter, and apparently she missed me as well! Moments like this are just to precious to waste.
I had to document it as my 365 Self Portrait for the day. I’ll be leaving again in a week for almost a month in Hawaii . . . so I cherish each and every moment I get with her. I just love watching her at play . . . she is so intent on what she is doing. One second she’s immersed quite seriously on the task at hand, and the next moment she is reduced to a belly laugh and giggles that consume her whole body. Who can resist that?? Sure gets my day off to a great start!

“I don’t think I will ever get tired of wearing pink.” Emma Bunton
My Granddaughter is almost five years old . . . and she loves pink! I rarely see her in any other colour. She told me once that she dreams in pink! I just love her sweet innocent exuberance and enthusiasm for life. Oh how I wish I could preserve that for her, store some away for a time when she will need to stock up on it . . . refresh the coffers. Wouldn’t it be great to just be able to go back to that time in life when we believed that the world was a perfect place? Even for a few minutes? Ahh . . . I guess that’s why we have Grandchildren . . . I know I sure get my coffers filled when I’ve been around them!
