Dear Mom,
You’ve changed out of your sweatpants! Maybe we’re going for our walk now!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Not now, sweetie, but soon.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Now you’re brushing your hair. That could mean a number of things.  
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I brush it every day. Go back to sleep, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
You are taking off your house shoes! That’s a sure sign!!!!!! But wait, you are putting on the cute flats, not the official comfy Walk Shoes. You are going somewhere else.
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
That’s so true! You are very observant. I’m going to the bakery for some bread. I’ll be right back and then we’ll go for that walk.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I’m so glad you’re back!!!!!!! Now we’re going for the walk!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Soon, but first I need to answer this email.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Okay, now you’ve put your laptop away. Possibly now we’re going for the walk?????
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
I’ll just have a quick snack first. This bread smells delicious.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
You are rinsing the plate – maybe now we’ll go for a walk?????
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
Soon, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
Finally you are putting on your comfy Walking Shoes!!!!! Yay!!!!! Now it’s certain!!!!! We’re finally going for that walk!!!!!!!
XOXO Poppy

Dear Poppy,
You’re absolutely right, sweetie. No one watches me as closely as you do.
Love, Carolyn
