Toddling....

Hands in the air, swatting away anyone's hand that tries to take hers--Off she goes!!
It's laughable watching granddad trying to reason with her.
It's equally laughable listening to Mel telling the bug how it's gonna be--and having he-who-is-an-overprotective-neurotic whisper the undoings of that in her ear.


Okayyyyyy then....

Well, abject lesson in grand-parenting is about to happen for the granddad.

Nana is going to work this morning.

Granddad--will be getting his grandparent work-out.

Tell her 'NO'.

"Oh, c'monnnn....how can you say 'no' to that face?"

Simple. "NO bug." Shake the head at the same time--work on building those 'non-verbal cues'....save time and embarrassment later.

"Oh, be still. She's just a baby."

HA.
He's a bigger sucker than I am.

*shaking head*

I warned him.
I also gave him permission to let the bug play with Nana's new super duper ball whirling, music makin', cup stacking, twirling palm tree, monkey popping toy!

I do hope grandad enjoys his lesson :)
Somehow I feel sure the little sugar plum will.

Oh, how adorable Mel!!!!!

Gosh, I'm afraid if I was ever in the presence of little bug, I'd have a hard time saying no too.

I'm a sucker for a cute face.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, dear lady!
