Topic: I have a favorite grand dad

[piersdad]

I am only two years old and my granddad is a good typist so here is my story.

I have to help granddad all the time, he does the most interesting things.

I watched him get up on the roof with that folding thing with easy to reach steps on it. He did not see me till I was on the roof. Just then mum spotted me and had a hissy fit and granddad just gently held me and insisted on going down first and me cradled between his arms. I could have got down myself but you know these granddads, they are so protective specially if mum's looking.

Watched him digging a trench in the drive for something and helped him by pushing the dirt around. He did not mind but he did push the dirt I put in the hole back out. Later he put some pipes in the trench and filled it all back in just like I was doing before.

Now we have two water taps, at each end of the section. Granddad put the water on at the road and tried the nearest tap and wow water came out. "Cool" He went to try the other one and ...Well I want to do this too so-- Turn the tap handle like granddad ---and "Heck"? Heaps of cold water comes out. No one told me to get out of the way when you turn the tap on. Wet from head to nappies.

We have got road works outside our place and I have to get granddad?s boots for him so that he can come out and watch all the diggers and trucks working.

He has a wonderful workshop and he has lots of magical things there. I have to keep an eye on him when he is there as he could hurt himself you know. I love his rotating bench he uses for carving. He lets me on it and spins it around and around till I get dizzy and we both laugh a lot.

Nana has a lovely mobility scooter. Found her key one day and tried it out in the ignition. Just missed the cat and nearly got the glass door and run in to mum, all in one swoop. Funny, can?t find the key anymore.

Oh well love both nana and granddad and guess I am a lucky wee boy.

wow we had a big party at our place today

it was nanas birthday and heaps of people came to our place
aunty opened up a magic sliding table and it become huge one.

soon we all sat down to Chinese and chips
I love the chips but not sure of that gukky looking other stuff
finished my chips and looked under the table
wow there is a whole new world here and what?s more my pet dog is there too
funny no one has noticed us here
now there is grand dads knobbly knees, he wont tell,
just a gentle tap and soon a hand comes down with some lovely chips. yummy
my pet dog wants some too ok we will share
so grand dad kept the supply line going and me and the dog yummed them up.
Did not last too long though as mum started to miss me and the dog was sent outside and ohh well back in the proper seat and the boring adults yakking.

Back again grand dad repaired a tandem tricycle he got from the super shed.
-- It was cool as g/dad could sit on the back seat and i could give me a ride.
today g/dad found a flashing orange light like the fire engines use
and put it on the trike.
that was cool as i could pretend i was a fire engine.
tonight it was dark so just to see how it looked in the dark i turned it on.

----Well it was just out side the French door ad as the curtains were drawn mum could not see what was going on.
suddenly mum came dashing out of the door in a mad panic thinking the place was on fire and the fire engine had arrived

oh well off to bed early now

~~oh cool I ?m staying overnight at grand dads place
g/dad and me had tea together and then we went out to his magic shed.
g/dad was making a plastic birds head as big as his hand.
and after he had sanded it and put some holes in its head for eyes it started to look real.
G/dad has only one eye the other is plastic.--- so he took his plastic eye out and put it in the birds head -- and now the birds head can look at me and we had lots of fun pretending the head was alive and looking at me.
G/dad put his eye back in and we got some paints out--- gee he?s got every thing in the world in that shed--
and we painted the head really cool one now and took it in to show nana.
bed time now and we had lots of fun trying to get my jamas on --- silly g/dad put then on back to front at first -- i did not tell him as that meant we had more time together-- off to bed now and that?s cool --- its only the second time I? have been away from mum overnight-- played with my car I got for my 3rd birthday today and zzzzz
