A couple of years ago, I sent Steph some money and asked her to get George an Easter Egg on our behalf [no sense in posting a chocolate egg across the country] She got one with its own dinosaur. The egg was eaten and forgotten, but the toy became George's favourite, and named "Teddy Dinosaur"
The day before we left Cornerstones, Steph said George said TD would like a Christmas Outfit got TD, and she wondered if Grandma could make one.
I took red and white wool, needles and a tape measure. On Thursday after school, George helped me measure TDs chest and head. I showed him how to make a tiny pompom by winding woool found a kitchen fork.
He went to bed and I sat up late making a jumper, with Xmas 🎄 tree on the front, and a little pompom hat. Which was good, because he announced he'd like to take it in to Show&Tell on Friday.

His teacher said his S&T went well. And on Saturday we had a 4th birthday party for TD, playing musical statues, eating homemade cupcakes, and generally having a lot of fun. The boys made a birthday banner and a card.
We all slept very well Saturday, being completely exhausted!!
That Santa Dino is wonderful. Great that he has been part of both Easter and Christmas!

DeleteSuch a lovely post. I love reading these stories if your grandchildren. I loved my Grandma so much, from her I truly understood unconditional love. I miss her still and she died nearly fifty years ago. I love her and my memories of her. Carole R.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother died almost 50 years ago too. I cherish her memory. She taught me how to make clothes for my dolls..
DeleteYou and Bob really are super grandparents! What a fun time you have had with the boys. At least you have some time to make the PJs. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the girls when you are there! Catriona
ReplyDeleteLess time for activities with the girls, due to school and nursery. But still having fun!!
DeleteAww, Teddy Dinosaur looks wonderful. What a clever Granny to make it overnight too, in time for Show & Tell. You are a talented lady, and a brilliant grandparent.
