Warning: this is a Leo photo heavy post, but there are some quilting pictures included as well.
I spent a fun week with my grandson (and son) while my daughter-in-law was on a trip with her mom. I am so thankful to have the time (as well as the cooperation of the rest of my family left at home) to travel three time zones over and lend a hand. It can be difficult when family is spread all over. I am sure there are many of you who can relate to this.
Leo and I had a good time with the daily chores....
We had a few routines....
Leo and I took a few field trips....
I learned Leo loves to take selfies...
I learned (accidentally) how certain features on my phone works thanks to Leo....
I learned Leo doesn't like to hold hands, but he will occasionally....
Leo likes to climb like {ahem} someone else....
Leo showed me the water.....
....and I showed him beautiful quilts made by men.
Quilt shops can be a great place to teach kids about color....
You are to be congratulated if you'd made it to the end of this post!!

Cute little guy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to spend that special quality time with your little cutie. If we're blessed with grandchildren I hope to be the same kind of grandmother!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cutie. I'm also quite jealous of your getting to go to Island Quilter. Someday I hope to go there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you must have had! (My quilt group always stops by Quilted Strait when we meet at Terry's house in Port Angeles.)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop reading the cute captions : ) Leo is such a doll. That shy smile. Trust a kid to find technical things before we do. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThat Leo is a cutie-pie, René! The picture of him lying down with the iPhone, and his little crossed ankles is just precious. I love your suggestion that a quilt shop is a great place to teach colors! Must be sure to do that when I'm with ALL FIVE grandchildren in a few days. Not sure if I'll be able to keep up after being worn out at the Paducah AQS show. This has been such an interesting, educational and wonderful experience! Glad to know you're back at home, and I bet you're doing something wonderfully quilty. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a great time, when are you going back?
ReplyDeleteWow! You do know how to have fun with a grandchild! It certainly is wonderful to be able to go when they want you. (I'm guessing you haven't worked on many UFOs)?? Or do you even have any?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the wonderful photos of Leo. It's really nice to watch him grow. (And you get totally sucked in to "grandmotherhood"). It only gets better from here.
What a wonderful post! I loved every part of it, and was laughing at the text messages asking what the things were. I sure didn't know and learned a few things tonight while reading.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had such a great time with Leo--
