You're very fortunate. Doesn't take much sugar for her to be pinging off the walls. And wouldn't you know it - my dad's favorite thing to do when he comes to visit is bring her a WHOLE bag of candy, open it, give her a few pieces (!!!!), and leave the whole dadgum bag here. He promises her before he leaves that she can have more, so she pesters me repeatedly about the candy that Papa brought her, and when can she have more.
My dad's quite the laugh riot. I think it is his payback for what the five of us kids pulled over the years. But I was the youngest (and shyest), so I didn't pull nearly as much as my older siblings. At least he didn't have to cut down a tree outside my bedroom window to keep me from climbing down it and running out to meet boys in the middle of the night - like one of my sisters!:eusa_doh:
Grandchildren are parent's payback.
Cutting down a tree tends to work.
