Teddy For Grandma Bea

My Grandma Bea just had knee replacement surgery. She's in a rehabilitation center recovering. A rehabilitation center translates into nursing home. The girls have visited her there 3 times now. They LOVE going. They say hi to all the nurses and workers and they love to see all the elderly ladies in wheel chairs lining the halls because they smile at them and the girls love the attention. Plus they love seeing their Grammie Bea. So...I told them if they took a great nap today we would go see Grammie Bea at the hospital and visit with her. That's all it took. There was no noise, playing or talking after lights out. Only the joyous sound of nothing. So they got up, we got dressed and I was gathering all our stuff to take along with us. They came walking out of their playroom with two teddy bears. I said "girls, we can't take those with us in the car, you can bring your babies but that's all". (Their babies are the thing that goes with them at all times) They then said "no mama, this bear for Gammie Bea. It make her boo boo on her leg feel all bettuh and will keep her nice and toasty warm". I stopped in my tracks and said "do you mean you want to give your teddy bears to Grammie Bea?" They just jumped up and down and hollered Yeah Yeah Yeah. So off we went and they were so excited and proud to give their teddy bears to Grammie Bea when we got to her room and they told her exactly what they were for...to make your boo boo all bettuh and keep you nice and warm. Seriously, I had nothing to do with it. No subliminal suggestions, I brought no gift, nothing. This is something they came up with all on their own. I LOVE those kids man. It's ridiculous how much I dig them.
