Here comes Poppy!

My Dad had some vacation time to use up, so he came to visit us. When we first started to make the plans I was a little worried. I don't think my father and I have spent that much time a lone ever. We are both type A control freaks so I was a little worried that it would a rough week. But to my surprise it was delightful, in fact I loved it!~!~

I have to start with Layla calling him "Poppy" I had always assumed she would call them Grandma and Grandpa. But I tried to get her to say Grandpa and she wouldn't. So I offered up Papa and she said that just fine. That was how it was for weeks before the visit. The morning he was to arrive I kept telling her"Papa is coming today" and she just started to say Poppy. Well it seems to have stuck...it has been Poppy since!

My Dad was like a big kid with Layla. He seemed so relaxed and just had fun. It was so nice, I will treasure this week for ever!
