Griffin's View of May 29, 2012
There was a bunch of excitement going on in my groupa today. The nanny got the scissors out and cut on my hair! I really don't like hair cuts and I put up a huge fight! Then they gave me a quick bath and I got really excited because I love the bath tub, but it didn't last long enough. They dried me off really quick and stuffed me inside a pair of overalls. THEN they sprayed smelly stuff on me! Seriously, what is going on?! I wish they would just tell me why they are dressing me up like this.
Before I knew it, the nanny carried me to the door, opened it, and there stood the papa!!! He came back for me! I had to blink a few times because I didn't really believe that he was there. He had a huge smile on his face and he grabbed me into his arms and gave me a big squeeze! I was so happy on the inside that I thought I was going to explode, but I managed to keep it inside, because I didn't want to do anything to ruin this moment. Was he about to take me to the playground?
I heard the word "machina" and I got really excited! I love machinas. The papa said that I was about to go for a ride in the car! I guess that's the other word for machina. I could hardly keep myself calm! I wanted to shriek with excitement!
The papa plopped me down on his lap on the back seat of a little black car, right next to the window! Oh my goodness, is this really happening?! I wonder where we are going? The papa was talking a lot to the other people in the car but he would tell me that I was doing a good job, in my ear, every now and then. Seems like they were talking about a lot of serious stuff. He kept squeezing me so tight because I really wanted to crawl up into the front seat and drive! I even reached up and pulled the driver's hair! It didn't help, though. I thought he would stop the car and let me drive. Nope. Instead, I just banged on the windows and tried to jump up and down on the papa's lap. He was having a hard time keeping me still and he started to sweat! When the car came to a stop, they took me inside a little building and tried to take a picture of me. Nope, no way. I really don't want my picture taken so I put up a huge fight. The ladies started sweating, too! Finally, they said that they got a good one but I don't see how because I was shrieking and wiggling all over the place!
We had a few more stops to make and when we stopped at the orphanage I just wanted to cry. I didn't want this adventure to be over. I'm so confused. I really don't know what's going on. The papa said that he was going to take me home but here I am back at the orphanage. Oh well, I'm just glad he came back to see me. The lady took me from the papa and they drove away. I watched until the nanny took me inside. I really hope that I can see him again tomorrow! I'm just so, so, so glad that he came back!!!

It has occurred to me that you were writing this blog for friends and family back home. Now you are back home so you don't need to blog anymore. Do ya think every couple of months you could update for old times sake? :) I've been praying for a job and a great summer for you. I hope where you are there have been more days of sunshine than rain.
ReplyDeleteHey you!! No, still writing for everyone, we just don't have internet access! haha. We are still living at my mom's house, but she has very limited internet, so we try not to use it. It looks as if we will be moving out of state, but nothing for sure yet, so we will definitely continue to blog. I have so much to blog about! I don't even know where to begin! Do you have facebook? I am currently visiting my BFF in TN and will blog it out before I head back to MS! I also have my family portraits to upload once I can work them up! <3 Miss ya!
