Miss M at Grammie's House

My granddaughter is now 15 months old and walking everywhere. She is developing quite a personality, too, which includes a little sense of humor and a little bit of a temper. The photo is an example of her sense of humor, as she is running away from me with the desk calendar she purloined when my attention was diverted for about a tenth of a second.

I am working with her to teach her to sign so she can better communicate with everyone. She already knows "Milk" and "More." We are working on "Please" and "Thank you." She is a 100 terabyte sponge right now and it is interesting to see how she is learning new things, every day. I don't remember paying this much attention to my own children, probably because I was much too busy trying to keep a household running and taking care of a husband. I don't know if this is typical of grandmothers, but I am very patient with this little one like I wasn't with my children. I spent nearly an hour helping her drink water from a "Big Girl" cup. In retrospect, I am surprised my own children reached adulthood with all the things I didn't do, or didn't know to do.

The second photo is Miss M knocking on my bedroom door, where I put the cat to save them both from each other. Miss M pulls the cat's fur and the cat swats at Miss M. Still, she loves kitties and one of her favorite words is "Meow." Every time she sees an animal that is cat-like, a mouse, for instance, she says "Meow." When she sees an animal that is dog-like, a cow, for instance, she says "Arf." In her baby mind, all animals fall into one category or the other.

A New Grandmother













I am a new grandmother, with only one granddaughter. My little granddaughter is just over a year old and she is walking, trying to talk, and such a delight. When I hold her, I feel such an overwhelming sense of love.

This is a picture of my Miss M and my son at Miss M's birthday party luau.

I work with Miss Janine at Precious and Pleasant, a delightful online boutique that has clothes for Mothers and/or Grandmothers and their little ones. Visit www.preciousandpleasant.com
