My Grandma and Grandpa Herr came down to visit this weekend accompanied by my Aunt Janet. The girls were really excited to see them. I tried to explain that they were Pops' mom, dad and sister before we got there, and Pops tried to clarify too. Elle really took to grandma, and they cuddled a lot under the blanket to keep warm. Grandpa won Emma over with candy corn. Two pieces of candy corn and he had a new friend. She sat on his lap a long time, and Saturday she gave him a five minute hug! It was so cute! On Saturday night, we were driving home and Elle asked me if I had two dads. It took me a minute, and I realized she was ready to understand who those extra family member were at Gram and Pops'. I explained again that they were Pops' mom and dad. She got it, and then asked who was grandma's friend, referring to Aunt Janet. I explained that she was Pops' sister. She wondered if Pops was nice to his sister. I told her she would have to ask Aunt Janet. She also asked where Grams mom and dad were, and I tried to explain that one too. Emma was asleep for the LONG family tree explanation.
