An Ode To Griffin

Griffin was Melia's first boyfriend.  He was one of her classmates who was a couple of months older than her (yes an older man!).  He taught her things like turning on the automatic faucet at the sink, climbing on the wooden boat, and throwing food on the ground.  These crazy kids really loved playing together.  Melia is a very affectionate baby and constantly gave Griffin hugs and kisses.  According to her teacher, she would wait in her cot for him to wake up from a nap, promptly approach him and smother him with kisses.  Poor kid was still disoriented from his nap and was usually a little alarmed by her affection.  Melia loved seeing Griffin so much, she would even hug his dad when Griffin was dropped off in the mornings.

Sadly, Griffin was transferred to another classroom a few weeks ago.  We miss you Griffin!  

Here are pictures from  happier times.

I hope her teenage years will be easier.
