[QUOTE="orcaauntie, post: 457327, member: 12721"] Excellent! My Mom does bake with them sometimes and she sure does love it. She does read, just not often. She is currently reading the last installment of "Twilight". I had reading time with her while she was visiting me, of course she was texting inbetween pages, but I wasn't going to make a big deal of it. :) I think Mom should emphasize this, especially when her new book "The Explosive Child" comes in ;) Yes, fortunately, she definitely takes them. She is at least good about it and doesn't fuss. She is watched when she takes them. :) She does play basketball and run track. More-so, "just because" and not because she loves it. But hey- that's fine with me! Her Mom used to play field hockey and basketball, then quit around 7th or 8th grade, I sure hope my Niece doesn't do the same thing. Good idea about the friends... maybe that will work! She does go to my Mom's often. As I mentioned previously, I talked to my Mom earlier and tried to reason with her- even though the kid doesn't respect your household cleanliness or whatever, she is at YOUR house being supervised with your granddaughter. It's worth a little frustration to have her there versus at the household with no supervision. Who knows, maybe this will also benefit the friend to have a little structure sometimes :) [/QUOTE]
