what I learned from the grandbabies today....

Today, with the grandbabies, I learned:

* throwing rocks into water is a huge entertainment for a 15 months old... so much so that he has huge belly-laughs.  Who knew the power of a KUR-PLUNK sound?

* a sleepy 3 yr old makes for a grumpy 3 yr old

* a grumpy 3 yr old makes Nanny the bad guy

* a 3 yr old doesnt hold a grudge very long

* I must look pretty darn goofy with french braids.  Isaac looked at me & laughed... & then looked at me again & laughed...  & looked at me again & laughed.

* a 3 yr old can give you a complex

* the hill in our front yard is now officially "a mountain"

* snot & slobber still grosses me out

* When you ask Luke where his eyes are at & he points to his nose, you dont care... it still cute & you still lavish praise in kisses.  Who cares if it messes him up in biology 10 yrs down the road.

* some playground equipment is REALLY REALLY high.  Too high for Nanny's to go up & have to pull down grandchildren without getting dizzy.

* the recliner next to Pappy's... in front of the tv that has a "Spiderman" video loop playing... has now become officially "Isaac's chair".  I dare you to argue that with a 3 yr old too...or even attempt to sit in it.

.....I cant wait to see what I get to learn today from 2 little boys...

Love it! Love it all!
I never get offended when my kids say that I look goofy or old or tired... I think it's funny too.
Your Friend, m.

I'm sure Julie will get the boy straightened out as far as biology goes. He'll probably be teaching his class the how-to's.
