Lunch With Bompy

Today Jake and I took Sophie to see Jake's grandfather at the nursing home for lunch. We packed up her lunch, highchair and bib and settled ourselves in at the guest table. Jake's grandpa was beaming and really enjoyed interacting with her. She was chatting it up at full volume. This unusual event caused quite the chatter amongst the dining hall. Jake and I had our backs to the rest of the diners but here is some of what we heard as we were eating.

"What's that noise?"
"It's a little boy."
"No, it's a little girl."
"Where is it?"
"Over at the guest table, with Norman."
"I can't see her, the mother's head is in the way."
"Well, ask her to move!"

After our apple cake with cream cheese frosting was done we became the hosts of a receiving line for the exiting diners. Almost every person in the home stopped by to say hello to Sophie and comment on her. Jake's grandfather was beaming and Sophie enjoyed all of the attention.

Looking back this is just one of the many perks that we gained by moving to the east coast; Great Grandfather and Great Granddaughter enjoying lunch together.
