KISS Day had finally arrived (Kids Invite Someone Special) and Gianna was thrilled to have Poppa Carl spend the morning at her school. The entire first grade had a program prepared and she had been working on a book for her guest of honor all week. I couldn't wait for her to come home and tell me all about the special memories she had made with her grandfather.
Later that day Gianna told me all about the fun activities they participated in. I was happy to hear she remembered which homemade muffins I contributed and had shared one with my dad. She was proud to introduce Poppa Carl to her teacher and show him her classroom. I read the heartfelt entries in the book she created for him and knew it was something he'd treasure forever. I like when "Poppa scweses (squeezes) me wale he hugs me". "Hide and seke and reading" are things we do together. Something that makes him happy is "when he comes home I jump out and he picks me up and twirls me around". I smiled remembering that was exactly what he did with me when I was a little girl. Gianna then told me that her teacher read an excerpt from her book to the entire group, and I wondered which one of those precious entries the teacher chose to share. Gianna told me it was the last page of her book and I turned the pages to the entry I somehow had missed. It read "Poppa" is funniest when "he brps out loud and my Grandma gets mad. She says 'Carl don't tech the kids things like that'."
