grandparents day...

May 4 was "Grandparents Day" at our kids' school. My mom and grandma were able to attend this event.

My sister AC went to pick up my mom and grandma at their house and drove them over to the school. Unfortunately, on their way there, she was stuck in traffic due to a train crossing. They arrived at the school a half hour late.

By what my sister and mom later told me, when they saw my son, he had a look of disappiontment on his face and was very upset. Last year, my mom had promised my son she was going to attend and in the end was not able to because she became ill.

This year, my son was looking forward to having grandma visit with them at the school. He called her on the phone several times to remind her and to confirm that she was going to make it.

I'm sure he was looking around for them and when he did not find them, he assumed they were not showing up (again!). My poor son, I could only imagine what was going through his head...

Eventually, when they got to the school, my son and daughter were very happy and excited to see them. Especially because my grandma (their great grandmother) had also attended (she arrived two days before from Mexico and will be staying here for the summer). The kids were able to leave the school for lunch and they got to spend a nice afternoon with their grandparents.
