Wee Granny

This is JT's Great Granny. 

JT at G.Granny's (28) edited

She is affectionately known as 'Wee Granny' by some of her great grandchildren because of her stature.  She will be 91 in November and has 35 great-grandchildren.  We called to visit her yesterday.

'Wee Granny' is very hard of hearing, so she shouts very loudly and this scared Jacob. 

But then she produced cars.............

Tractor Troubles

We bought JT a tractor when we were away on our wee break. It is providing hours of fun (albeit in minutes at a time).

the slurry tanker keeps disconnecting from the tractor.

Then when he pulls the tractor the tanker doesn't come with it......

Puddles

Jacob discovered puddles yesterday!

We had just returned from our morning walk and I lifted him out of his pram to let him walk down the lane.....right into a puddle. He was wearing sandals!

He just stood for a few seconds and considered what had just happened. Then he smiled and bent over and touched the water......and splashed!

And I just thought - well he's wet now? Nothing the washing machine can't fix?
