Having Fun

My first granddaughter was born Monday.  Such a cutiepie.  Loves to have grandma hold her.  Her 3 1/2 year old brother has been staying with me.  He cried a lot the first night at bedtime, but has been happy as a clam ever since.
 
I love teriyaki and don't get it often because it has too much sugar for grandpa.  But grandpa is out of town, so after visiting Mom, Dad, and Baby Sister, we stopped for some.  While waiting for my order, my grandson saw the menu on the wall.  They had sushi.  He loves sushi, which pretty much gags me, so grandma got him an order of cucumber sushi (no raw fish).

I have watched enough kid's movies to last a life time.  Though I know there will be more in my future.  We have built with legos and worked puzzles.  Tried to work with transformers, but I have never been able to do those. 

He has drawn many pictures to take home to mom and dad and played games on my computer.  But the fun is almost over.  He goes home tonight.  I'll miss his chattering and running around "really, really fast).

4 year old grandson

My four year old grandson comes up with the funniest stuff:

4 yr old: "Can I have some m&ms?"
Mom: "not right now"
4 yr old: "Awww, you're no fun."
Later: Dad taps the horn to tell someone the light is green.
4 yr old: "Did you push the wrong button?"
Dad: "yup!"
4 yr old: "Oh, the indignity!"

Celery

My four year old grandson was telling all about a sandwich.  I don’t know where he got the idea, because I know he wouldn’t eat it.  But the sandwich was, your special peanut butter, your special banana, and celery.  I was okay until the celery thing.  But we had a nice conversation while mom was putting baby brother down for a nap.

I had been baby sitting baby brother while mom and four year old “O” were at eating class.  What is eating class you ask?  I didn’t know there was such a thing, but it is a therapeutic class to get really picky eaters to be willing to try new tastes and textures.  Today they were preparing “hungry caterpillars” and then they were supposed to eat them.  O didn’t eat them.  I don’t think I would want to eat them either.  They were toothpicks with a yogurt covered raisin, a blueberry, and a pea.  I think they must have been going for “food comes in many colors”.  But I still don’t know where the celery came from.

Fun day

Had both kids and 3 grandkids over to play and have lunch.  I’m always a bit tired afterwards, but love it.  We have enough chicken salad left over for dinner, so I can just relax the rest of the afternoon.

My fourth grandchild will born 2 weeks from today.  This one will be our first granddaughter. Can’t wait to meet her.  She has her momma’s tummy so stretched out that you can feel parts of her body.  I have never felt that before.  I was feeling either her leg and foot, or her arm and hand.  It was really weird.

Feathering the nest

While most of the country has been sweltering, it has been fairly cool here in the Pacific Northwest. This morning the sky is gray and it has me thinking about fall.  I just added a layette to my shop that I would like to cuddle up in.  It is a 4 piece layette of a beige cable-knit lovie, cap, and booties, with a long sleeve onesie. I think the reason it looks so cozy to me is the cable-knitting and also seeing the layette all nestled in a woven rattan “nest”.  I guess since it doesn’t come in my size the next best thing would be to cuddle with a little one who is wearing this outfit and have the lovie all scrunched up with us.

Have I been gone that long?

I can't believe it has been since Easter for my last post.  I must get back into this now that my new and improved site is up and running.  I have added the cutest socks to my shop.  There is a boy set and a girl set and then the 12 days of Christmas set.
