Lil Du-ba, is what I call him, and Gah-Ma is what he calls me, my grandson, or course.
Time has gone by so fast, since I first started Grand-Ma duty when he was just a handsome lil-o thing, with a head full of silky black hair, who needed me for everthing...
but now he's 16 months old, really smart, and already has his own little plans of how he wants things to be... yes, his way! Lawdy!
It's just incredible how fast he's grown, and the the things he's learned to do on his own. He off the bottle and holds his own sippie cup, he throws his own diapers in the trash, as he is being potty trained in the mornings, whenever I ask him if he wants to "go with me"...(Gah-Ma)he grabs his coat, and my keys if he sees them on the table, and heads towards the door, and he's already hook on computers (not phonics)* :). He has a fascination with my computer's keyboard lights, and clicky sounds it makes, and sometimes I let him push the buttons on the keyboard, and he gets this real serious look on his face, like he really know what he's doing while pushing those buttons, it's so funny! you would just have to see it. He has one of those v-tech laptops that he loves to carry around with him, but he definitely knows it's nothing like the real one.
*(although I must say that is an excellent reading program for children, I used it for my son when he was younger, and his reading skills improved greatly.)
It felt pretty good outside today, here in Michigan, so I took my grandson up to the park today,
When we got back home, I feed him, and we watched Manny and the Tools, and then Mickey Mouse on the Disney Preschool channel,and he was bobbing, and weaving with sleepiness, and right now he is napping as I type this.
Well, I spent 4 fun days with my grandson, and he definitely kept me moving, and I am pooped; because it seems like he has ten arms, ten legs and 10 feet, to my 2 and 2, lol, but today, is the day my daughter will be picking him up after she gets off work because she misses him, and she is really a great mom. I'm really proud of her for trying to stand on her own feet and handle her business. Go Angie! Go Angie!
I love my family, and I know they love me back, through the rain, sunshine, and every thing in between.
I'm on Grand-Ma Duty, how about you?
