My father-in-law gives flowers to all the girls in the family and I started getting them after I married Sam and became a part of their family. Having flowers sitting out around Valentine's day always makes Sam look good until someone asks who they are from.
This year was the first time Ruby understood that one of the vases of flowers were hers. The delivery man came during her nap so when she woke up she was totally bewildered. This is what she said:
Ruby pointing at the first vase: "Ruby's flowers?"
Mommy: "Yes they are from grandpa"
Ruby pointing at the second vase: "Porter's flowers?"
Mommy: "No they are Mommy's flowers from grandpa. Grandpa gets the girls flowers."
Ruby pointing at the first vase: "Ruby's flowers!"
Ruby pointing at the second vase: "Mommy's flowers!"
Ruby pointing at the first vase: "Ruby's flowers!"
Ruby pointing at the second vase: "Mommy's flowers!"
on and on she would go, back and forth. She would forget about it for 30 mins or so and then the whole conversation would start all over again.
Thanks again Grandpa Dodd (Ron), we loved the flowers!
