Grandpa and I had the pleasure to sneak away for a couple of days to babysit the grand darlings and celebrate their Momma's 32nd birthday.
I keep asking myself,
can I really have children in their 30's already?
Upon arrival,
we were greeted at the door by Beckham...
it's so fun when they reach the age
where they remember
who you are from visit to visit.
Gives Grandma warm fuzzies!
We hadn't seen Miss Avry
since her birth.
I think she looks like her Momma ;)
She is busy moving her arms and legs,
trying to control her little fist
and on
occasion will even get her thumb in her mouth.
With a little coaxing
there are
coos and smiles.
Big brother is such a good helper,
even helps keep her pacifier in place!
Momma can be heard saying, "be gentle, be gentle"...
Here she is in her tutu.
Precious.
Big brother straightening her tutu so it is just so.
I overheard him telling his baby sister,
"Oh Avy you're so cute"!
Suppose he will think she is cute when she starts crawling
and discovers
his Thomas the Trains?
Watching over his little sister while she sleeps.
Big Brother,
Mother's Helper
&
Protector...
For the most part baby sister approves...
But,
we are still working on the "being gentle" part...
Learning how to hold Avry
with out squeezing too hard!
He keeps pretty busy
being Momma's helper...
watering Momma's herb garden...
Aren't they cute?
Wine crates re purposed into herb boxes.
Herb markers are wine corks!
Oh, and I forgot...
How could I forget?
We got to witness the excitement of "Garbage Day Friday".
This is a big deal!
We arise early,
stand by the windows/door in our jammies...
and
what else?
Of course,
watch garbage truck videos on YouTube
on Momma's iphone while we wait for the
garbage truck to arrive...
This garbage day is a big deal..
it's a whole family affair,
even Bella,
the family fur child,
comes to see what all the excitement is about.
"the garbage truck is coming!"
"the garbage truck is coming!"
and in a matter of seconds
the garbage is picked up
and
the truck disappears
off in the distance...
and
then we spend the rest of our day
doing this...
and this...
What a fun Friday!
Have a good day everyone,
Brenda
I must tell you about a series of "documentaries" my grandson, now 5, used to love. He was a trash day window stalker too. The series was through Netflix and called "Mighty Machines." I have no doubt that Beckham will love them too! Grandkids are the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... jan
