JP is our youngest grandson who turned five in September. He and his mom a
nd dad lived with us while they were building their house a year ago. Though they’ve moved into their new house now, we still get to pick him up from preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays and spend the afternoon with him. Next year he’ll be in kindergarten all day. He’s so full of fun and remarkably wise for his years!
For Blogging A to Z, I’ll be sharing some of our many conversations over the last few years. I hope you enjoy!
JP: Nana, please, please, please can I wash dishes in the sink?
Me: Okay, sure, how about some of the silverware? I’ll put the dishes in the dishwasher.
JP: I need lots of water and soap to make bubbles.
Me: Of course. Thank you. You’re such a good helper.
JP: You know I like to help you, Nana, right? I always will cause I love you.
Me: Oh, I love you, too, sweetie!
JP: Then you can just watch TV, cause you’re getting kind of old.

Hahaha! Don’t you love it when they point that out? Mine tell me, “Dad, when you’re old, I’ll let you live with me.” It’s sweet….but they’re biting off way more than they realize. 😃

Just wait. They’ll change their minds about that down the road! No, just kidding. When oldest built his new BIG house he said they fully expected one or the other set of grandparents might need to live with them. I’d rather be on my own, but the thought is so sweet!

Hahaha. I tell them they’ll have their own life and such, and that I appreciate the offer, but I hope I never have to take them up on the offer. 😃

Best to keep a good relationship as they’ll be able to choose your nursing home down the road 😉

Well grandmama, you better sit down and rest. I think that’s so insightful coming from a 5 year old 😉 You really want to encourage that when they are young men. He’ll be a real catch some day. Blessings Mz. D ❤ Don't you just love, love, love this 2nd winter, ;(
