| You want me to what??? |
Our family spends lot of time together.
Visiting.
In fact, if I were to pick a favourite activity, it would be that one.
My eldest daughter, Caitlin, and her family were over.
We were having a comfortable gab-fest after a hearty and satisfying dinner together.
Don't I sound like an advertisement for something?
Moving on . . .
Her Baby Daughter, nearly two, was busy playing at our feet.
She managed to put a toy train together.
All by herself.
“Oh, good job!” Caitlin told her. “Fist bumps!”
Baby Daughter grinned, doubled up her hand into a tiny fist and punched Mom gently on her knuckles.
“Yeah!” Caitlin said. “Now go and give Grampa fist bumps!”
I should mention, here, that our grandkids adore their Grampa. He plays with them.
Constantly.
Ponies. Troll under the bridge. Pirates.
But fist bumps?
The grin disappeared.
Baby Daughter gave her Grampa a sidelong glance, then, simply tipped full-length onto the couch and lay there.
Her attitude said it all.
'I . . . would rather . . . die!'
“Hey!” Grampa said. “I want fist bumps!”
His only response was a giggle.
“Hey!”
More giggles.
He never got his fist bumps.
I guess you have to be selective about what you share . . .
Kids are so funny...and watching grandchildren grow is a true delight.
ReplyDeleteSo much of what my own kids said was lost because of 'busy'. I'm glad this generation can be better recorded! :)
DeleteMust have grandpa's sense of humour......gosh just look at those blue eyes and that tangle of blond hair. What a little sweetie.
ReplyDeleteOh, so true. Grandpa will live forever . . .
DeleteThat little face could melt ice cream at the North Pole!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what little kids will and won't do ... and how they can tease the grownups sometimes!
She definitely melts her Grandma!
DeleteAnd you're sooo right!
This is a cute one and that granddaughter is precious.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs for her!
Thank you! I think we'll keep this one! :)
DeleteHee hee hee hee hee! Oh my girl!
ReplyDeleteYeah. You taught her well . . .
DeleteNothing like grandkids to brighten one's day :)
ReplyDeleteThey certainly keep you on your toes . . .
DeleteOh my, look at those gorgeous blue eyes!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of baby fist bumps!
My grandkids learned high fives.
Yeah, those eyes help her get away with a lot!
DeleteI love high fives!
So cute. And good for her - it has only been in the past few years that I even learned what a fist bump was! :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! About that day, in fact! :)
DeleteI cannot wait for my babies to get to come home and be spoiled rotten by grandma and grandpa! It's funny the things that seemed well enough for our children are no longer as acceptable to us for our grandchildren.
