The Grandma card

Already es knows some things at our house are different than at her house.  For instance, we have not taken the side off her crib to turn it into a toddler bed (as her folks did to her bed at home), but she doesn't complain when I put her in it for quiet time after lunch.  (She may complain about quiet time, but not the bed.)  The few times she has spent the night with us she didn't ask to sleep in our bed with us the way she sleeps in "MommyDaddy bed" at home.    When she plays with the Play-Doh I put the white ceramic cutting board on the coffee table for her to work on, so she knows to ask for it;  at her house she works directly on the table.  On the other hand, when she was here Wednesday she asked for ice cream, which she does not do at her house, and I gave her a tiny spoonful with chocolate on top as she requested.  Since I see her at least five days a week I don't feel the need to spoil her with special treats as I might if I saw her once a year as my parents saw our daughters.  I try to follow her parents' wishes.  But once in a while I do play the Grandma card.
