Today I want to talk about what makes life’s ups and downs so worth it. Having a grandson has been the most amazing experience I have ever had. I have heard it said so many times from other grandparents that if being a parent is great, being a grandparent is even greater. My grandson Alex is (now this is very, very bias) the most handsome grandson ever born. He has the happiest disposition of any child I have ever seen and is a joy to watch learn. This coming week he turns 19 months old and boy does he keep you busy. Jerome (my husband) and I often have Alex for the day on Saturdays. I often have to work, so Jerome picks Alex up in the morning and looks after him until I get home. With his new runners on he is hard to keep up to. I don’t know how someone with such short legs can run that fast. He is not saying much yet, but he has no trouble getting his point across. Jerome has him fixated on cars, so he spends a lot of time running and pointing at cars. My daughter Jennifer and her husband Albert often taken him on the OC Transpo bus, so bus is one word he says well. The most precious saying he has is “I did it”. He says it very quickly so when it comes out of his mouth it sounds like one word. He loves to open the cupboard doors in our kitchen, even though he knows he is not supposed to and when you ask him, “who opened the doors Alex”, he proudly looks up at me and says “I-did-it”. I am sure it won’t be long before he says, “It wasn’t me”, but that has yet to come. I hope you don’t mind but every now and then I am going to report some of the funny things he does. I can’t help myself, I am a very proud “nannie”
