When Ella blessed us with her company, her GA born and bred Grandparents came up to Yankeeville PA to visit the newest member of the family. Before Ella came, MiMi and Pop Pop had picked out their names and commenced to spoiling. Ms. Ella had 4 drawers full of cloths and an entire nursery of furniture, not to mention diapers, burp cloths and a very cute stuffed gorilla, thanks to MiMi and Pop Pop. After, she came, they got to spoil her in person. She was cuddled and cooed, kissed and rocked. Once they left, I was reminded of what I missed for Ella, family. People love a baby, but family loves Ms. Ella. I thought of this as I discussed how many poops Ella was making with my Grandmame. My Grandmame, who usually talks politics or geography, was intensely interested in how much Ella was pooping. Was she sleeping? How was the feedings going? Has she gained weight, when was her next doctors appt.. All this interest and the girl isn't able to hold her head up yet. I love that I have someone to talk poop with 'cause as much as folks at the supermarket will chat me up about Ella, I think poop talk might cross the line of polite conversation.
