So typical - for decades there were lots of posts from grandmas about grandchildren, which were a bit boring for someone who had given up on ever having any!
Now I have a grandchild - a miracle at my age - I can't find any, so am starting my own
My beautiful granddaughter will be ONE tomorrow and is such a joy.
I was 73 when she was born, and I'm going to be helping out with looking after her from tomorrow as mum goes back to work (from home at the moment).
It's exhausting (I've done practice runs) so hope I'll be up to it.
Our lounge looks more like a family room now and much more messy, but that's how I like it.
I had kept loads of the best toys and books from my own children for 40 years!
Sadly had to get rid of most, but not all, when we moved house. I still hoped for a miracle and got it!!
What can she do? I'm glad you asked . . .
She's now standing unaided, wobbling a bit and looking at the camera before falling down on her bottom and getting up to try again.
Won't be long before she's walking now and getting into all sorts of mischief.
Babbling all the time - mum mum mum, dad dad dad and things that make sense only to her.
She loves books - me and her mum are making sure of that, and has joined the library.
Anyone else want to share about a special grandchild?
