28. May 2009, kurz vorm MittagNadja and Lea
Lea Sophie is my brother’s daughter and a big fan of her cousin Nadja. Or course Nadja is a big fan of Lea, too ;-). Monday is Grandma & Grandpa-Day. That means my parents pick up Nadja from Kindergarten. Usually Lea will join them as soon as school is out. Luckily everything is very close. School, kindergarten and the flats of my brother and my parents are within less than 5 min walking distance.
Having both girls under control is quite a challenge, which Grandma and Grandpa can meet phantasticly. And they are rewarded with many beautiful moments. Some of them they could save on zelluloid memory cards. The pictures were taken in March, however enjoy Lea and Nadja in action!
Our Grandparents – what would we do without them? Both families help us a lot and make daily live much easier for us. Monday for instance is “Grandma-and-Grandpa-Day”, they collect Nadja at the kindergarten and take care for her in the afternoon. Lea, my 9-years-old nice, is usually also joining (or making? ;-) ) the party. This way Christiane can start relaxed in her working week, organizing her schedule without time pressure. Same applies if Nadja is ill and can or shall not go to the kindergarten. Just one call in the early morning and: “Of course, bring her to us, we nurse her!”.
Christiane’s parents (and brothers and sisters) cross half of Berlin just to see Nadja, to collect her at the kindergarten and to spend the afternoon with her. Or they stay overnight to take Nadja to bed while Christiane and me are going out. My parents live “just around the corner”, half way between our home and the kindergarten. And because both have retired already they can spend a lot of time with her.
Since last friday the “test” was successful – Nadja slept the first night at my parents home – today is premiere: Christiane and me will spend the weekend at the Baltic Sea. First holidays without Nadja. I am used to it from my business trips where I am away two or three days from home. For Christiane it is the first time she is separated from Nadja for 2 days and nights. I hope she can relax as much as Nadja who gets pampered by her Grandparents…
