Dear Mom and Dad,
I have great news… Nana got me to Goldfish Mini class today and instead of being late with traffic…. we were early! REAL EARLY, but it was cool. Nana got a chance to get me changed, and I played with toys and visited with Great Grandma, Great Papa and Great Aunt Pam. My GMP, Uncle Nick was there, but all the other campers had class tonight… ‘tear’.
Here I am with the class…
Now I have a question for Mom…. see, I am thinking since Nana already has six kids… and had MANY MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO EMBARASS THEM, must she embarrass me too? Is that fair Mom? I mean, there I was …. all mini – ed out, being a part of the gold fish mini-class… AND SHE AND THE BEAST… START POPPING PHOTOS OFF LEFT AND RIGHT… can you see me thinking here… “what the heck Nana? This is so not cool…
Nana asked the mini parents, “would it be okay to take a photo or two?”…. A PHOTO OR TWO!… HOW ABOUT A BAZILLION? Uncle Nick always asks Nana, “who taught you how to count?” since she tends to either under estimate, or overexaggerate OFTEN. (Kind of like UNDER ESTIMATING HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES TO DRIVE TO GOLD FISH MINI….eh hem…) Maddie, Etta, Simone, Alex and Connor were all there tonight… and of course your little princess ‘ME’ too… we all had a blast… kickin’ and a splashin’ -floatin’ and a slidin’ it was the best tubby ever…
The faces of my buds taken by Nana and the Beast…
Can you say it with me , come on… this is EMBARRASSING NANA!
But cute… and so sweet…
I guess I am glad she is a photo bandit…
I will have photos of this for my Camp Nana memories… and I know both mom and dad will be happy to have them.
So I guess it’s okay….
Maybe…
So now you have seen my friends at “mini’ class, and they are all so nice to me.
I have a pretty big support team here, not only in the water, but on land too…
Swim class is now officially a spectator sport… and everyone sits in the sweltering sauna like conditions… just to see these little faces smile and enjoy… being mini’s!
Thank you friends for putting up with my Nana… she can be a bit much sometimes, but I have learned to just roll with it…
This weeks enterouge…. and last week, Great Great Aunt Ida, and cousin Nancy too…. BUT NO ME, (eh hem remember, poor timing and traffic)… (double tear)
I enjoyed class very much today, I went down a slide too….
I was awesome…
I hope to go to Goldfish Mini class with you and daddy when and if you get to come and visit me on R&R…
You will love the friends I have made, and the fun that I have…
When we finished swimming, I was so tired, we went to eat with the family, but I slept through dinner, which you know what that means don’t you…
PARTY my crib TONIGHT! After a few z’s, I was ready to go, go, go…
I know, it is late, but all the campers are home from school, and I want to visit …
and visit,
and visit,
and play,
and play,
and visit, and ….
yes… PLAY!
So Aunt Arri and I did the whole Patrick Swayze Dirty Dance thingy, and I spent a little quality time with all the gang… and then I sacked out, but here I am before I turned in for the night…
Mom and Dad, I feel so lucky to be able to enjoy so many things thanks to your hard work and your huge sacrifice. Nana says it is hard some days to send love letters, because she doesn’t ever want you to be sad that you are not here at camp too, but she knows that your seeing me every day like this, is the only thing she has left to give you now that you are big “kids”. She knows she did a REALLY good job embarrassing all the campers and you when you were small… things like taking all of you to the grocery when you were smaller, and following her around the store like ducks after a momma duck… with two or three shopping carts, gallons of milk, loaves of bread by the stack full, and as you all got older, having supplies shipped to the front door for all the kids on the school bus to see as it passed by… but she really is just about taking care of her kids… and hoping some day, some how, some way, they will know… she never meant to embarrass…. or be too strict… SHE ONLY WANTED THEM ALL TO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY. For a short while… she has the opportunity of sharing this ’embarrassing’ stuff with me… I AM JUST GLAD, I AM A TODDLER… AND NOT A TEEN… Nana says, you and daddy get to do the teen thing… and she is going to just hang back and hope I am as sweet and adorable for you then, as I am now… (just don’t laugh when you hear things she used to say to you, come out of your mouth with ME – as Nana, says she won’t laugh either… ‘much‘) Until tomorrow, please know I love you both, I thank you for all you for letting me have so much fun while you are working, and I am sending a squeeze to get you thru to another day… I am as always
YOUR ONE AND ONLY 
LITTLE MISS ADORABLE, YOUR DAUGHTER,
Guillianna!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH TO ALL MY MINI FRIENDS….
FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY NANA…
SHE’S JUST TRYING TO HELP HER KIDS SHARE IN MY AWESOME TIME WITH ALL Y’ALL.
Nana
Oh you look so cute in your bathing suit. So glad you had a good class. One of these weeks, Great Great Aunt Ida and me will have to come back and watch you swim your goldfish laps.
Love you.
Cuz Nanc
Hey Gugu,
Wow so big swimming and sliding, you look as adorable as everyday. Love the smiles too, you’re so cute, you remind me so much of Mommy. I love how Uncle Nick is helping you learn to swim, it is so nice of him to be there since we can’t, so thanks Nick. I hope Nana knows how thankful Mommy and I are for all and every post, it’s the highlight of each day. When the internet goes down here, I am so sad that I don’t get to see you, but thankfully it stays up more than down.
Love,
Daddy
Uncle Nick says…. youre welcome the pleasure is all his…AND HE MEANS IT, who wouldn’t want to take me swimming… and play with this little sweet and most adorable little Princess? All the campers feel lucky to have me here… AND I LOVE BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION!
