It Seems Like Yesterday

It seems like yesterday that my children were sitting in the backseat of the car belting out the words to a song on the radio. We all started to laugh after we realized that my youngest child knew the words too. He was 3 years old!

I was reminded of this last week Molly when came for a visit. Her vocabulary has increased by leaps and bounds. My granddaughter is now is speaking in full sentences laced with a sense of humor and utter adorableness, all at the age of 2.

“Hey Beb, let’s go play.”

What? Did I hear that correctly, Beb? Molly has always called me Bebe.
My daughter and son-in-law cracked up as their daughter’s utterance. We went off to play store and chase Molly. The day continued to be full of surprises from out of the mouth of this babe.

A really cool thing about being a grandparent is that you see the growth of your grandchild as remarkable every single time you see your grandchild. Molly’s expressions and actions gave me such delight that day, as they do always.

The best part was when we decided to go out to dinner and Molly said, “Beb come in our car.” I got in the backseat next to Molly in the car seat. Then off we went. A few minutes later, I heard a song on the radio that I use for teaching spin class. I turned to Molly, who was now belting out every word, clapping and rocking from side to side in perfect time with the song. I could not stop laughing. She has the same love for music as I do. I hope my granddaughter develops this and keeps music close to her heart. Then I thought of my two children and the first time I ever heard them singing along to Air Supply. It seems like yesterday. I dedicated my next spin class to Moll.
