My granddaughter is asking when are we going.

In many posts here I sadly talk about how time flies. Not so for my granddaughter Sofía, age 5. She asks me every day she comes when are we going to the Caribbean. I´m sure she has no knowledge of planes or distance. She only knows that we will go some place where there will be a beach and where she will play with sand and make castles. My daughter, older than me, explains that she has to wait a month an a half. I laugh! What does a little girl know about months and halves! She might not even know what is the half of an apple. On one thing I agree with Sofía: I am impatiently waiting. This is a picture I took at Aruba, nearby.

When I was a kid, nothing excites me more than going to the beach In fact, the night before the trip, I couldn't sleep due to excitement.

Same here. I know she does not understand that we will be going to another part of the planet. She just want a place with sand and water.

After a little bit of insisting with our vacation, she turned into her summer school. It seem that she has more fun there that at her everyday school.

@marguicha sometimes school is boring for them they enjoy more in outdoor activities.

Sofía asks me every time she comes to my house. It seems that she thinks that I am taking her.

Pleasure. It's the only thing that they want . their mind doesn't think yet about time and distance. I'm sure your granddaughter is cute and fun to be with.
