It’s going to be all girls get-away as my mom, sister, Summer, Saylor and I head to New York this week to visit my grandparents.  Gram and Gramp are the typical grandparents in that when you couldn’t decide between two pairs of shoes, they’d say “just get both.” But isn’t that their job, really?

Summer already has this one figured out.

Case in point (as related by my mom or “abuela”):

Abuela (noticing Summer yawning): You look tired.

Summer: Yes, I didn’t sleep well at all.

Abuela: Oh no, what was wrong?

Summer: Well, I REALLY wanted a (stuffed) deer at the book store and mommy said it was too expensive to buy. I just kept thinking about that deer alllll night. I would start to fall asleep and then I would remember the deer and cried a little. I just REALLY wanted that deer…

And yes - like there is any doubt - Abuela plans to head over to Barnes & Noble for the $15 deer soon.
