Poor Daughter 1 and Son-in-Law 1 spent Wednesday night throwing up, so we went and collected the children on Thursday morning and kept them for the day while Daughter 1 went to bed in our house and SIL stayed in bed in theirs. Grandson is post-viral and a bit pale, but we went for quite a long walk and he valiantly wheeled his dolly in its buggy almost all the way. I think the attraction may be the wheels rather than the actual dolly, but I love to see him trundling unselfconsciously along.
This morning I took the children to the museum. We shared a scone. Here's Granddaughter enjoying some tiny bits. Hasn't she got lovely blue eyes?
After the summer, Grandson will probably go to nursery part-time. He'll be three in July. Granddaughter will be 1 on Sunday. Whizz, whizz - there go the years.
You must have saved the day for your daughter and S-I-L. I hope the sickness bug soon leaves them.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see both of your babies, who will be grown too quickly. We have to enjoy them before the time flies away too fast!
Good heavens - has it been a year already? Hope the family feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteFor a moment there I thought he was pushing his sister!
ReplyDeleteGood to see Grandson is a proper man, able to cope with babies and buggies!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so lucky to have you close enough to help out like that.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how quickly the time has gone and how "old" your grandchildren are.
How lucky for Daughter 1 that you are so close by and so willing to help! I cannot believe your granddaughter is 1 so soon. My youngest grandchild, and most likely my last, turned three last October. Yes, the years do go by too quickly. All we can do is pay attention to each precious moment. Sounds like a cliche, but like many cliches, very true.
ReplyDeleteWow -- time is whizzing by, isn't it? It seems like just yesterday those two little cherubs weren't even here! They're both just so cute -- I'm so happy that you live close enough to play with them a lot!
