Too much information....

Friday night has become a girls night only for Violet and me. Last night when she was here we got into our pj's and talked about her friends and a boy but not a boyfriend that she enjoyed talking to. They talk about trading cards. She said she hadn't told him yet that she owns a Mustang. I was sworn to secrecy about the little boy. We talked and played our usual games and she decided we should play school. She was the teacher's assistant. She went around to the different rooms and showed the kids how to do the fire drill, earthquake drill and the lock down drill. When I heard lock down I said do you really practice that? She said yes and very calmly explained that if you are the closet to the door you are supposed to lock the door and get under a table or desk. If the teacher is closest to the door, she has to lock it and then get under her desk. It made me think of a lot of questions but I didn't know how much she knew and didn't want to scare her. I was kinda depressed the rest of the evening thinking that was too much information for a little 6 year old to have.

Wow. That is certainly a sad thing - to train little kids about what to do in situations like that.

I envy your close relationship with your granddaughter. I'm working on bonding with my granddaughter, but she's not as close to me as my grandsons are, and I can't figure out why. I miss being able to do girly things with her. Maybe when she's another year older.

I'm so glad we are close; we have some great times. She will say Gramma can I tell you something? I always say you can tell me anything baby doll. She knows I wont tell anyone.

You won't tell anyone except for the entire blog-o-sphere!

I love that you two have this wonderful relationship. I am envious because I never had this with a grandparent.

Thank you for being so involved...we love having you close.
