...and my heart melted!

I'm a fairly new grandmother and try to spend as much time as possible with my granddaughter.  We live five hours from each other, so it is not always possible to spend "hug" time together.  I'm grateful for face time, as we both are reminded of who we are and how time is changing us.

About a year ago, I began making videos for my little princess where I would read books, sing songs and perform finger puppet shows.  It has been a lot of fun for me because I feel as though she is sitting right in front of me as I record.  Once I email the video off to mom and dad, I feel like we have just had a physical visit and my whole being is warm and cozy.

I recently read the book, "Fish Kisses" to her.  It's about how different animals kiss goodnight to each other. It is a fun book with a lot of opportunity to ad-lib sounds and facial expressions.  I had fun taping it.  I sent it off a few days ago and she watched it quite attentively before she left for school one day. After coming home from school, having her dinner and readying for bed, she watched it again.  Mom sent me this text after she finished the video:

"We watched it again, and she grabbed the phone to kiss you goodnight."
