Earning his keep :o)

Sandra Thomas is fairly growing and a budding little helper.

He has such a cheeky face B. bless him, I love to see them outside 'doing' things. Hope you enjoyed the bus ride.

Lovely age.

He is a little sweetie ScotKat,and loves to help..for as long as the attention span lasts :o)
........
Cheeky face is right,G.mage...we went to the park and also fed the Ducks..so a happy little boy :o)
.........
I think this is my favourite stage,Denise..but I will probably say that every year ...

Yes I am sure you will Bloomer, sad that discovery period goes so fast though.

Hi sandra was just going to email about Thomas, lovely to see his beaming smile , makes everything worthwhile, great pics. contact you 2morow;0)

much too fast Denise..I can't believe he will be three in April !
.....
Thank you Carole..I've just replied to your last email :o)
Speak to you tomorrow X

He is getting so big...gorgeous boy...:>)

Good help you have there Bloomer, a bus ride to the park to feed the ducks is a good reward for a job well done, when your nearly 3!! I'm sure you all had a lovely day :o)

He`s looking very happy helping his grandad, its grand sharing their first experiences of something new, I think its as exciting for us as it is for the children, lol.....

Well done Thomas ...
No dino wellies today ? ;o)

What a lovely grin to greet me this morning, thanks Thomas xxx

Thank you Moti..hope Remi is doing well too :o)
.......
I agree Neellan,thank you.we had a lovely time..
......
Thanks Sue..it's nice to relive our childhoods through them,enjoying the simple things ..he even copied us by saying thank you to the bus driver :o)
.......
Lol,Terra..the Dino wellies were on standby,but it was a very dry leaf kicking day.....for me as well. ! :o)
.........
I will tell him he cheered you up this morning,Pam..thank you :o)

These are days are to be treasured Sandra they go so quickly ,there's nothing to match the smile of a happy child I'm glad you all enjoyed your day out , (I still enjoy leaf kicking ) :o) It doesn't seem possible that Thomas will be 3 next year ,it's been a privilege to watch him grow at each stage of his development :o))x

Aww, bless him...although I worry that so many of your pictures of Thomas show him 'working'..lol
He has such a lovely smile, bless him.
Each stage is magical isn't is? When Freya was tiny I loved to sit and nurse her. Now she want's to be off all the time and has the attention span of a gnat! lol.But I still love how her face lights up when she achieves something. The latest is climbing on to the settee...unaided. She sits back with a big grin on her face..for 2 seconds...scrabbles off..then repeates the whole process again... I love being a grandma...as you obviously do..xx

He is diligent Sandra, Nice to see you helping grandad Thomas, You are growing so fast:-)))

Lovely boy , what a joy , Bloomer !

They are indeed,Amy..just lovely to enjoy it all with them,through their eyes...and a good excuse to do daft things :o)
...........
Thanks Waddy,good job we don't have a Chimney..! Lol
I agree,being a Grandparent is the best :o)
.........
Thank you Junna..he had a lovely time..more pleasure than actual work..I must get him to try harder ! Lol.
........
Thank you Driad..we love having him,..and as yet no "terrible two's " Tantrums! the first little sign,and we just copy him,which sets him off laughing :o)..I remember that ad in the Supermarket,where the mum did the same...it works a treat ! Lol.

Happiness is ... sweeping leaves with Grandad :o)

OMGoodness Sandra .. so it's rolling in the aisles next is it , Please get Russell to take his camera LOL ...

Very true,Hywel..and vice versa :o)
...........
Could well be,Amy..wouldn't that be embarrassing? ..:o)

He's got such a cheeky looking face, tell him I love his hat!and i like kicking leaves too. We had Grace as a 1omth old right till she started nursery at 4, and she'd help with all sorts of things, washing the car,sweeping the leaves, and watering all with Grandad, i used to leave a few small spoons and plates for her to wash, and she loved it. Big smile at the end when she'd finished.Teenager now and doesn't like doing those sort of things anymore. Can't complain tho she's lovely :)

Thanks Val,I noticed I had put his hat on the wrong way,,with the badge at the side,but he didn't bother :o)
Lovely when they want to help...sometimes! next venture wil probably be baking..we only have him for a full day,if they ask his mum to work,but we enjoy it too..glad to hear Grace is being a typical teenager..and not letting the side down :o)

What you like Sandra, good luck with the baking!!

I bet his mum noticed ! Lol.He rang me last night with"Hiya Grandma,been to party and danced..and dog poo in garden ! " :o) ..The cricket ground actually,as they went to an anniversary do there..so funny,aren't they? love it...

A real Autumnal scene there, but never realised that your OH didn't have a head Bloomer..lol Thomas looks totally adorable..\0/x

They come out with such funny things, when you're least expecting them :)

Thanks Flori,.I have to catch Thomas before he runs off !
Hence the headless OH ..:o))

I agree,Val..last night he told me the carpet had been cleaned :o)

He's lovely Bloomer, a real cutie. I remember the excitement about getting the bus, it was Ella & Jamie's treat when we went to stay with Grandad. 20 mins of singing 'The wheels on the bus' on the way into Bedford Lol!! They used to be tired after shopping so it was easy to get them into a taxi to come home though. Happy days!!! :o)))))xx

They love it,don't they? sadly,a lot miss out on the pleasure of a bus ride now..you will be able to do it all over again with Riley :o)

I used to laugh at my dad when he'd say lets leave the car at home and get the bus with them but it was good fun. Riley's got it all to look forward to :o))x

..and lots ,lots more :o)) It's great to do the daft stuff,..like moo back at a cow! Lol...Oh,yes,I bet you remember doing that,Annella ..get your voice in trim :o))

lovely Bloomer - so sweet

Thank you Paul..he is..:o))

:))))))))))
