Doing a spot of baby sitting this afternoon. Dad is doing farming stuff and mum has business that is easier without a young entourage.
So we are having an exciting afternoon being grandparents.
While I sat in the lounge room in the Crookwell house lengthening the band on a jumper for the baby, K was singing the alphabet song with Miss Four and a Half and putting magnetic letters on the fridge in order under her supervision. Seems he got it correct so she must be a good teacher. They made sums as well. Lots of twenty-tens.
Master Nine Month Old is not quite crawling. He combines commando crawls, rolls and twists to get pretty much anywhere he likes. Hands and knees rocking has been in the repertoire for a week or two now. Look out mum!
All of my grandkids have had to learn not to touch my necklaces. It become quite the game. Master Nine Month Old checks out which one I have on and sneaks his hand to the edge of my collar, while gazing into my eyes just to see if the rules have changed today. Not likely buddy! Even I you do give good kisses.
K is now supervising TV time from the floor and doubling as a climbing gym for the kids. He is quite an expert on ABC kids programs. He and Miss Four and Half have a conversation ongoing, him saying she is in the road and her insisting she is in the room not on the road. I try not to chuckle too loudly. The baby is rolling under K's arms and then out again, giggling.
The only thing wrong with all this is that the other families are so far away. One of the few really rewarding things about getting old is watching your own brood become parents and responsible adults. Our three are managing that ok it seems.
Oh well......
