For Kasia’s 4th birthday, my parents were able to come down for the weekend to celebrate with us. Kasia could not have been more happy. We have seen them since last summer, so it was quite a treat for us. Kasia loved that they were coming to play with her. She loved that they were coming for her birthday. And she REALLY loved that they were going to be spending the night so that they could have a sleepover. I’m not sure why, but having sleepovers is really big with Kasia.
They flew in on Saturday and we immediately threw them in to a birthday party for Kasia. It was crazy and fun. We didn’t let them rest at all and immediately started loading them up with pizza, cake and Scotch (Shirley can really down that 18 year old Glenfiddich). I think they had a pretty good time.
The rest of their trip was a lot more relaxed. We watched the Olympics, went out to eat, and played some cards. Kasia had a wonderful time playing with Ama and having Buppa chase her around the house. I heard, “You can’t catch me Buppa” so many times that I was waking up at night with those words in my head.
They flew back out on Tuesday, and it was just in time to miss rain/snow/ice that we received just after their plane took off. As we were saying goodbye, Kasia seemed to be taking it pretty well. When we got home however, it was a different story. It sank in that the sleepover was finished and that Grandma and Grandpa were gone. That’s when the tears came, and boy did she take it hard. However, the fun she had while they were here drastically outweighed the pain of them leaving.
Kasia now can’t wait until the next time when they can have a sleepover.
