Just Dance

We had a couple of rough days here. Things started out pretty well on Friday. After our walk Alma got out a large photo album and enjoyed talking to Keith and I about some of her family history. She really enjoyed looking at pictures of her boys and seemed to be in a fairly good mood. Then, by bedtime, she was teary again. She woke up Saturday in a similar mood and packed her bags to leave several times throughout the day. No matter how many times we told her we wanted her with us (we even made a poster for her bedroom to remind her of that), she just kept saying that she doesn't belong here and wanted to leave.

After all of that our daughter, Wren, got up this morning and put her new Wii game Just Dance on and was playing it when Alma finally came out of her room and was smiling watching Wren dance. Wrenna strapped a Wii remote on her wrist and they have been dancing for the last hour and a half.  It's wonderful hearing them laughing together and watcing my daughter being so patient and kind with her grandmother (and she should be-but that's not always the case with 14 year olds). I'll try to sneak some pictures of them to post later.
