Back to Reality
We spent a long weekend up north observing Canada Day (Did you know Canadian Budweiser is totally better than American Bud – true story!) and having a grand time at my mother-in-law's lake house.
Muffin is the only grandchild on that side and as a result, she gets treated like a celebrity by the entire family. You know those riders where stars insist on ridiculous perks like chocolate fountains and bouquets of while lillies? I don't know who Muffin has working for her, but at Grandma's house she has a kiddie pool, a play tent, a castle with moat, a real live dog, a constant stream of gifts, unlimited bubbles, strawberry ice cream, cookies for breakfast and the attention of everyone in the room at almost all times. At Grandma's house, she's happy (and she knows it), piggies are always going to market, and every thing she does, including breathing, merits applause.
We left Monday morning. Monday evening found us eating dinner at a depressing Cracker Barrel somewhere in Pennsylvania. She looked at me like, God, Mom, this is so not ice cream as I fed her a dinner of cooked carrots and yogurt. Scanning the room desperately looking for someone to notice her, she did adorable things but got nothing except the same old muted validation from Mom and Dad. Didn't anyone know who she was??
Finally, she just started applauding for herself.
How many days until Canadian Thanksgiving?
First ice cream cone ever!
Yay for Muffin! Again!
This little piggie went to Canada...
It's exhausting being the life of the party.
