...Alex!
Today was my first ever - "Grammie and me" dinner with my grandchildren. On the first day of school I gave Gregory and Alex a coupon for one dinner with Grammie at Cheeburger Cheeburger. Gregory suggested that he and Alex could use some "separation" time, so I asked Greg and Amy to work out who would go first. I think Alex finished his homework first so he was the one who went to dinner with me.
It was SO much fun! And Alex was 100% pure delight! I can hardly wait to do it again. I chose Wednesay because there's a magician there on Wednesday night. I thought the guy was pretty good, but Alex thought he was weak. The magician asked Alex if he would help with a trick. Alex, with a look that said "Are you crazy?" replied "no". Undaunted, the magician asked me to help which, of course, I was glad to do. Alex was occupied until the magician pulled a scarf out of Alex's shirt. At that point Alex told him that the scarf trick was old - that he'd seen it before. Thankfully, the burgers came and the magician moved on to another table.
So.... we had dinner and then I offered Alex $5 to spend at the dollar store. He asked if we could go to Five Below instead... so we did. He bought some kind of "wrestling" key chain with recorded messages from one of the wrestlers (bad Grammie - I don't remember who the wrestler is). I know that it said "I'll do what I want when I want." and "I am awesome." Not what I would have picked, but it wasn't my $5 to spend, was it?
Next week I get to have dinner with Gregory. I can hardly wait! :)
