In this life there are good times and bad, right and wrong, periods of elation and periods of depression. Yet sometimes we are fortunate to live a 'shade of grey', somewhere in between.

MAIDEN SOLO PRAM VOYAGE WITH ROSA
I had an interesting afternoon with my granddaughter, Rosa and her mama, my daughter, Selina.
It followed an interesting morning gardening at The Rectory, where I work one half day a week with my good friends Sue and Fran.
When I arrived at my daughter's house little Rosa was playing in her baby rocker, situated in the kitchen, while mummy baked some cakes for daddy's birthday tomorrow.
Little Rosa was in fine form and voice ~ we were singing nursery rhymes and she was laughing and screeching joining in ~ I have never seen her so chirpy. She sat on my knee and we played for an age and a little later her mummy fed her and then said she wanted to do some more work in the kitchen, so I said I would take her out for a walk in her pram. She loved it and obviously felt totally at ease with me because she was laughing and gurgling like there was no tomorrow. I was out with her for an hour and whilst walking I stopped and took a photo.
Then she really started laughing. It was almost as though she was imagining her saying, "Grandpa! please make me a pram which goes as fast as the one in the video!" lol
Then she fell asleep and I kept walking.
When we returned home she awoke and I handed her to her daddy who had just returned home from work.
It was time to say goodbye since I had some shopping to do, and I was quite amazed that when I said goodbye to her she extended her little arms all by herself for me to pick her up and give her a little cuddle.

What a little sweetheart! I'm sure she loved the walk and little nap and Selina loved having a little break from her, too!
ReplyDeleteYes . .. lucky to have her and I think she is developing a sense of humour already . . . :)
DeleteI was pleased to be able to give Selina a break . . . :)
Oh, cher be' be'! She is so adorable and how wonderful that she has your sense of humor! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Marguerite ~ I think maybe a little of Grandpa is rubbing off onto them . . . :) lol
DeleteNew Moms need all the breaks they can get!
ReplyDeleteNice of you to help out... although I suspect you were the lucky one. What a sweetheart.
Such a pretty, pink patterned blankie and those beautiful blue eyes are something else!

Yes . . . It will be nice to give Selina a break occasionally. I expect I shall be looking after Rosa for at least a day a week when Selina goes back to work so it is right she gets used to me . . :)
DeleteShe is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day
Thanks Manu ~ she takes after me of course . . . lol
DeleteHi Eddie - so wonderful to read and see ... that music would keep your young lady awake ... but she's growing fast ... as they do! Cheers and have a happy weekend ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary ~ yes the music is a bit loud and I detected rather naughty in places . . . . I have no control over that. Yes she is growing very fast ~ close on 24 lbs now after 7 months. Happy w/e to you too . . .:)

Hi Linda. . . .

Peter sends hugs to Miss V.

ME either Eddie! Isn't it wonderful?
DeleteYes . . . wonderful and we have to keep going for them . . .
DeleteAs a man I am very fortunate to have this experience in my life . . . . :)
That sure is one fast pram, Eddie. Do you reckon we're too old to try that one out?
ReplyDeleteNow way, Blue, let's get building . . . lol
DeleteWhat a sweet Grandpa Eddie. She is adorable. Is there such a thing as too fast? LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Yes I know I'm sweet . . . . rofl
DeleteWas it a typo? . . lol
Yes a bonnie little lass and I am seeing her tomorrow . . :)
Have a great week too . . :)
Aw, how sweet was that moment. I'm having my first grand child in the summer. I offered to buy the baby stroller for them. It meant freedom to me to be able to get out with my kids and I loved pushing them all over. Hope I have a moment such as yours someday soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie . . . I am so pleased you are about to join the grandparent club. Funny about buying baby things. Peter has three car seats, three strollers, three potties, three of everything, three travel cots, three high chairs etc. One set at his house, one at mine and one at his other Grandpa and Nana's . . . lol. Rosa is getting the same way . . . lol
DeleteAdorable beyond words. She is lucky to have a grandpa like you, sir.
ReplyDeleteThank you and very nice to meet you . . :)
