I know that I've probably bored you to death with info about my granddaughter, but this photo really sums her up. Her little pool is dry, and she still insists on playing with/in it! She definitely marches to her own drummer! Strong-willed is her style; and she's only 15 months old!

I know my kids did all kinds of cute things, so why does a grandchild's doing the same things just make me melt all over? She brings joy to my heart.

You are one lucky grandmother! I think it's great that she is already thinking outside the box. Our world needs people like her.

She is exhausting at times, but I love to see her figure things out. Some days I can't wait for her to take her nap! We are so fortunate to live close to her and to be a part of her life.

Free spirit sure sums her up. She wears me out, makes me laugh, and gives me lots of messy hugs. What more could a grandma ask?

Thank you. We smile a lot because of her. Her mom, my daughter, is also a strong-willed redhead, so we are skilled in the art of distraction!

Thank you. It is just now starting to grow some length. But both my girls were bald too, and they have the thickest hair imaginable now. Riley, my granddaughter, just fills me with joy.

She definitely has strong opinions, that's for sure. But she is a cuddler too and this week at naptime I got to hold her until she was asleep. What a precious bundle. Did my heart good.

I know some people aren't fond of red hair, but I personally love it. Of course, she could have polka dotted hair and I would still think its beautiful!

She is waiting for you to refill it! Love the red hair! I forgot, is this your first grandchild or do you have more?

Strong-willed was one of the many early indicators I had that my son was very high IQ. I kept trying to break that will. He simply knew he knew what was best. Another was that he thought "outside the box" on almost everything. They should prepare themselves for genius!!! (Easy for you, you're the grandma and can hand her back....)

This week she has decided to walk on tiptoe, but only one foot. So she looks like a little drunken sailor crookedly going around, but she is having a lot of fun. The days I keep her I sure am tired by the end of the day! But oh, the grandma love is so wonderful.

Yes, I know how tired you feel because I am there many days. We are not young as our grown kids are and I think they think we can do it all still.

It looks like a red cloud on the top of her head! Her mom,my daughter, is also a redhead, as am I. So I'm loving this red hair, but oh the temper that comes with it!
