Sweetness...

I had three wonderful days with Em and Aethan.  What can I say about my incredible grandson?  He's full of love and an insatiable curiosity, he's funny, clever and makes us laugh, he's polite and caring and he's a joy to be around...all this and just three years old.  We walked the beach and Aethan braved the ocean, running along the water's edge and wading right in to help Casper get the sticks we threw (with my camera telling me to replace batteries).  My favourite times are ones in the garden with him...watering the plants and talking about bugs.  Over and over, the conversation went like this as I filled his watering can...

A: More water please, nanny.

Me: Set it on the grass and I'll fill it.

A: Thank you very much, nanny.

Me: You're welcome and thank you for watering for me.

A: You're welcome, nanny.

Several times he said, "This is a very good idea, working together, isn't it nanny."

Nanny thought it was a very good idea, indeed!

Hi Barb!
I'm finally on a new computer and able to read your blog again (my old one was playing silly buggers).
Little Aethan is such a wonderful little boy...what a treat for you both to share such special times.

Oh my but I do envy you getting to spend time with your wee grandson. That is something I really miss being all the way over here. That's a lovely picture of him in the garden, and by the way you so deserve the Nice Matters award!

Oh I have such a lump in my throat reading that little conversation. It brings back so many memories. Thank you.

Oh your wee grandson sounds adorable!

My daughter and her Poppa have a great friendship. They both share a very sweet tooth and apparently Poppa's scones and pikelets are very YUMMY and if I want to learn how to make them I really, really should and can even go and see him for lessons!
