Grandsons

My life is full of love.  I have five grandsons and five grand-daughters, each one charming, delightful and lovable.  This year, two of my grandsons are two years old.

What are two-year-old little boys made of?

• Climbing into closets and cupboards
• Hiding in drawers and dryers
• Eating markers (washable, what luck)
• Sitting on a small step stool to snack
• Playing with make-up and kitchen tools
• Darting away in department stores
• Losing Teddy at the Mall
• Sleeping anywhere but in his own bed
• Squealing with laughter, loud and long
• Testing every boundary, every limit, every rule
• Hugging and falling asleep in your arms

• Wearing rubber gloves to bed
• Loving new sneakers with heel-squeakers
• Cleaning crumbs with the vacuum
• Watching “Cars”, “Pingu” and “Toy Story”  
• Screaming inconsolably when things disappoint
• Pulling the play-kitchen down on himself
• Needing stitches again and again and again
• Climbing the outside of the escalator
• Chasing the cat round and round
• Learning to talk and making up words



• Getting into the tub with pyjamas still on
• Pounding the piano keys and singing
• Getting into everything, yes, everything
• Grinning such huge happy smiles
• Looking like an angel while sleeping

That’s what two-year-old little boys are made of!
