We have had SG for most of the day. He arrived very early this morning.
Still in his jamas, hungry.
"Don't worry Mum, I can have breakfast at Nanna's."
"Are you going to get dressed?"
"No, I can get dressed at Nanna's. I will get my slippers."
Sitting at the table, eating his cereal.
"Nanna, I really love you!"
"I love you too, SG!"
Later, sitting side by side, Nanna & SG.
"Nanna, are you going to get more stitches?" touching my face.
"No, SG, I have had the stitches out now." (Stitches from biopsy)
"But you will need some more Nan, you have all these cracks. They will need stitches."
Nanna muffles some laughs!
"Nanna, your hands have got old. They used to be new hands, but now they are old- see?"
Nanna looks at SG's new hands, & kisses them. His 'new' little face is such a delight. Kiss his little soft cheek.
His 'new' pale skin. His eager mind, so keen to learn all about everything.
SG had his lunch, Macaroni Cheese- what else? He ate it outside with an audience of Leo & Honey. And Nanna had her lunch beside him. An English Muffin. Nanna find bread upsets her.
Most of his afternoon hours were spent with Gom. His little voice piping away, as he made "Potions, to put you to sleep!"
A few fart jokes were giggled about, out on the balcony, so Nanna couldn't hear.
After all that is such a male thing! What else could a Nanna expect!
SG delightedly leapt up & down the balcony. Nanna wisely stayed inside. Heights scare the sh!t out of me!! I can't bear to watch him standing beside the rail, peering down.
His mother came, bristling with tension from a work meeting. He gave her healing hugs, so glad to see her. He kissed us good bye. Hugged us. Blew us kisses as they drove away.
Calling loudly, "I LOVE you!!"
I have lashed out this evening, & had 2 glasses of wine!
David Gray, My oh my.

That's lovely Meggie. You are a lucky lady to have a wee fellow tell you that!
I like any one who likes macaroni cheese!
very good fot he self-esteem.
we should all have a little SG in our lives!
Oh Meggie, what a loving, tender post.
I can't wait - but I'll probably have to - to be a grandmother!
Love your choice of song too!
Beautiful. What a wonderful grandmother you are.
There is nothing better than grandchildren! He should patent his idea of sewing up wrinkles. He could make a fortune in Hollywood!
Sounds like a good day Meggie. Grandkids are so much fun at that age.
How lovely!
I could eat mac cheese now, with a couple of glasses of wine!
Oh Meggie! You brought tears to my eyes in the passage about touching his new little hands. How dear! What a joy that little SG is!
So much love and beauty! I love David Gray too. :)
Meggie, your little SG sounds like a real delight.
A real delight, who is in turn delighted by his warm and wonderful Nanna!
he sounds so utterly lovely. And very lucky to be able to see his Nanna and Grandpa so often
Meggie. We are both so lucky as I too have been busy being a grannie today. Aactually I was busy being a 'Nain'. Charlie is 8 months and crawling everywhere, so I'm a very tired Nain tonight.
How wonderful to be a granny/nanna. I can't wait. He sounds lovely.
By the way - you asked a few posts ago about publishing. I read this at work, where I can't comment, and haven't had time to blog since. In Britain, the thing to do is to read the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, which has lists of publishers and agents, and the sorts of things they take. You're far better to get yourself an agent, if you can, who will send your book round suitable publishers for you, and it's then more likely to be accepted. Of course it's not that easy to be accepted by an agent.
Good luck!
Ah, your account of the conversations with your grandson is so sweet, and funny! I wonder if I'll ever have stories to relate like yours. (Please Lord, not for a few more years!)
I don't know about the TV programs and how the cameras are working but Japanese aren't much better! Had a good laugh at your description!
You sound tired - but very happy tired...
What a gorgeous day with Nanna!
What a perfect day! I can't wait to be a granny one day.
Precious story. I really like the way your grandson's mind works.
One of the charms of little kids is their cheerful honesty. While the rest of the world may lie their heads off, a little kid will turn to you in the grocery store and tell you quite frankly (as I was once told) that you have a mustache.
SG sounds like a corker. I'm glad he's there to enjoy. May he always sneak out to the balcony to share fart jokes with his grandpa.
No medicine or tonic could be a effective as a small grandson. What a dear little sweetie he is.
