The Girls Are Wild!-the Water at Carroll Gardens Park!

     Gigi and Tess are 19 months and the are  busy, busy, busy! You can't have anything out, nothing, nada.
     We went to the park yesterday and Tess wanted to stand at the water fountain for 45 minutes.  She threw a fit when Jordan took her away from it.  And they were spraying water from these fountains that the chidden run through.  Gigi got in there, shoes, clothes and got soaking wet.  SHe was shivering.  These girls sure like water.  Tess screams when we take her out of the tub.
     I'm going to LA in a week, and San Fran.  One of my other grandchildren is graduating from middle school.  Jordan says it will cost her a bunch of money while I'm gone.  I told her that must mean I'm valuable!
     Living with one another hasn't been easy.  The girls we agree on but we're two women in one household. She will point out things I've done, or said and one has to realize that a child's viewpoint on you isn't the full picture.  But its hard when they bring up stuff you can't just get away from and they have their opinion on it.  But that  is life and that is children.  The girls are simpler in that respect-at least for now!
     

Children, School, Twitter, Nudes in Chyberspace

        We went to Sidney's yesterday for Mother's day.  The twins were wild.  They are 18 months and all over the place, climbing, walking, talking, eating, grabbing.  Jordan has been very busy with work and the twins.  It is all she does.  Susan and Tom were also there as was Sylvia, Sidneys friend who recently sold her house in Cobble Hill and bought another one further out by the new Whole Foods.  The talk went to schools, Montesori, having grandparents in their 80's,  and teenagers.  Sylvia said that these two girls sent nude photos of themselves to a boy in their class on Twitter.  He was photo shopped into the photo and it went all around the school.  This is just 8th graders! It was quite a big deal the the young man wound up getting expelled. 
           Sidney has finished the remodel on her house and it putting it up for rent-15,000 a month.  She got the stairs straightened but the bannister is not up to code, it's too short.  What happened is they fixed the bannister, but had to make the spindles shorter and when you walk up the stairs you notice that your arm doesn't quite hit the right height.  Her agent, a mother from school, said that they'd have to disclose that situation.  It's not easy renting and showing a house.
           Nothing is easy, children are fragile, and we all are just trying to survive.
