Granddad & Me




I love my Granddad. He's also my Daddy's Granddad, so really, he's my Great Granddad. But we just call him Granddad because we all already know he's Great! He loves hugs and toy cars and has a big recliner we can sit in together.

I love to go. He does too. We are going to take lots of walks together, especially now that he lives so close to us. (Grandmother & Granddad even have a playground in their backyard and a little red wagon we can put goodies in to take with us and collect things in.)

Daddy and I are spending the day at their house to help them move in. Granddad and I are going to check the mail. He holds my hand and walks slow, and I like that (he never rushes me like Mommy & Daddy).

Granddad's like me, only bigger. I'm going to love spending time with him!

You had me at Elephant...

Alex is learning to read. He has this little book that's sort of more like flash cards on rings with a little handle so you can carry it around (like you need an excuse to carry a book around, but anyway...)

So, he brought it up to Stan the other morning. The exchange went something like this:

Stan: Apple
Alex: Appaa

Stan: Ball
Alex: Baa

Stan: Cow
Alex: Coww

Stan: Dog
Alex: Doggie

Stan: Elephant
Alex: Wow

Stan: Frog
Alex: Wow

He knows Frog, but we lost him at Elephant so everything else in the book became "Wow"!

Wow!
