Weekend With Jess
Jess is my grandaughter born November, 15, 1996. Keep
in mind she just turned four this past November.
Friday afternoon when I got here she and her mom were
in the back yard. She gave me a hug and said she loved
me and I carried her in the house. We rode out to
wally world to pick up a few things and on the way
back Ree got a call, one of her patients was in bad
shape and she had to go to the hospital. I was baby
sitting for a while and we watched cartoons. I fixed
dinner and fed her. Her mom came back to get her ready
for bed and to eat. She had to go back to the hospital
because the patient was dying. Anyway we watched a
movie for a while and we went to sleep on a single
bed. Not very comfortable and my pillow was scooby
doo. I woke up once when she moved to the foot of the
bed, but I didn't wake up when Ree came in and tried
to wake me. Anyway I got up early and came in the
living room to study. After about an hour Jessica got
up and watched cartoons for a while. I gave her
breakfast and when Ree got up she got Jess dressed.
Ree had an appointment for lunch, so when she left
Jess and I went out in the back yard to clean rocks
and weeds from a circle around a bird bath to get it
ready to plant flowers. She was digging a hole but she
said she was a pirate looking for buried treasure.
Then she would find a rock with a special color and
that was gold so that went in the birdbath. She was
digging around in the rocks with her fingers throwing
them in the buggy. She found a small acorn I think but
thats not what it was to her. She told me it was weed
poop. First I heard of that, didn't know weeds had
poop.Then when she had the hole 6-8 inches deep she
said it was a throw-up hole. So she stuck her head
down in it and pretended to throw up. Testing it I
guess. It was very real sounding. Then she got some
bread to eat and sat under some bushes in the corner
of the yard. This was her room and she stayed there
till she ate all her bread. I had raked up a pile of
leaves and she went to play in that. We came in and
she changed clothes again, a little skirt and top with
leopard color edging. She changes clothes often,
buttons or zippers, she does very well with both. She
takes her shirts she had on and puts them in dryer
with clean clothes. I have to dig those out. Her mom
calls and says get ready to go get her fish for an
acquarium she got for Christmas. So we go to PetSmart
to find her fish. She picks out neons and get
three.When Ree puts them in the acquarium she lays
down fish rules. She still wants to feed them so Ree
has to hide fish food. Then she starts playing with
her makeup table and puts fingernail polish on her
lips. Ree has to clean that off. Oh and she changed
shirts again. We warm up pizza for dinner and soon
after that I have to leave. They both give me a
goodbye hug and I'm off!
