WHAT GRANDMA'S DO......



Today was my day to watch Jeffie and Cody while Joe attends his owners meeting for work. I have enjoyed these days with Jeffie for several months now, but have only just recently added little Cody into the experience. So far I feel it has gone well, and the boys have really been very good for me. Jeffie quite frankly ALWAYS is, and I enjoy him more than I imagine anyone could really know. He is really very good company for me, and we have a good time whenever we are together. I had noticed the first couple of times I had Cody as well that Jeffie was having a hard time understanding why it was that suddenly he did not have my undivided attention as he always has had in the past. He was NEVER the least bit impatient with Cody about it, or even anything that would have been close to being naughty or whiny either...But Grandma could just tell... = ) Sooo yesterday I took Jeffie for the day just by himself. We started with a fresh hair cut for him...which made me realize just how grown up he has become. When we first started doing this, it was NOT something he enjoyed...haha I had to really talk him through it and even then it was a tip...but yesterday he was actually looking forward to it as they let him play a video game last time while it was being done, which he THOROUGHLY enjoyed, and he has been waiting to need one again so he could play..haha Anyway, we then did lunch, and did a little shopping. I told him I needed his opinion on some more Littlest Pet Shop gear that I wanted to get for my play room. Capri will be equally pleased I have absolutely no doubt...Jeffie was honestly very concerned that he pick out things he thought "Capri might like" as well. I told him that the next time some new things are selected, it will be Capri's turn to go with me to "help" and he seemed to be intrigued as well by what she would pick when it is her turn to go...haha Between the two of them it is a toss up who seems to enjoy these toys the most...I think if I were pressed to the wall I would say it is Capri. She was sooo darling on it all when she came last time and discovered them in the play room. It really is nice having two of them so close in age that enjoy the same things. Works well for me too, haha... Anyway, we ended up back here for a couple of hours where he played with it all to his hearts content, and had Grandma's FULL attention as well. I noticed today he was a new man. He didn't blink an eye when my attention was focused on Cody, and didn't feel the need to tell me sooo many things that are always so pressing to get said...lol He is such a big help to Grandma with Cody, running for bottles, putting in pacifiers etc....Cody is getting soo big and is sooo sweet....He just has the most kissable face. I can't seem to stop myself. Jeffie at one point said, "Grandma, why do you kiss him soo much?" and I said, "It's just what Grandma's do." He laughed and seem to accept that....and now that I have written this whole blog, I realized this isn't even what I wanted to blog about, but I guess I will save that for another day...I have missed everyone writing their posts like they use to... : ( I wish I could think of some way to get you all re-inspired...I was "blogging" this afternoon after the boys left (Grandma was beat) and saw and read some truly inspiring and imaginative and creative blogs...It's a long story how I get onto to all these blogs of people I don't even know (Di does it too) but they are sooo interesting and entertaining....It is MUCH better than reading the newspaper or sometimes even a book. They are real life stories complete with pictures and feelings and I have found myself laughing aloud and literally at times in tears....What a world we live in where we can do things like this...I just know if some of you read some of these blogs you would see what I am talking about and maybe that would inspire you....let me know if you are interested and I can tell you how to get to them....that's it for now, hope you all had a good day!!
