Communication Skills

My 22 month old grandson taught me how to prepare his milk bottle

A slight pressure against my leg
A small hand tugging at my jeans
Guiding me to the fridge
Pointing at the milk on the shelf
I think I know what this means

I pour it out in his small bottle
He climbs on the tall kitchen chair
Stuck halfway; he asks me "Uppy"
I help him sit properly
As he points at the microwave there
And says "Meep, meep, meep"

That's so cute, Noel -- it's lovely how kids can change us and shape us. Their cute little laughs and all, I used to baby sit all the time when I was younger and I could never get enough! They're too cute and this was gorgeous. Definitely portrayed the cuteness.

Thanks Kayleigh. I appreciate you checking this one out. He was here for a visit recently and speaks more now, but this incident will stay with me for years I think.

this is so cute and brings back memories. why did they have to grow up for God's sake? and what are my children waiting for to give me grandchildren?

[NoelHC]

Thank you Woody, I am pleased this little work touched you. Tell your children that you need to enjoy little people again, and they better get busy! If I knew how much fun grandchildren were I would have had them first.

had then first hahaha

My son is in the mists of this. It completely resonates with how I feel about what life is with him.
I love this piece.

Thanks for checking it out, I am working on another short poem about the same little grandson, he visited us again a few weeks ago. He speaks more now, it is so interesting to watch them grow up.

Awh Noel, this is too cute. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and I swear I travel all over just babysitting, I have seen this multiple times, it's so cute and sweet - I loved it.

[NoelHC]

This made me smile. There's so much reward and pleasure to be had taking care of such wee ones. My wee ones aren't wee anymore, but I sometimes wish they were--that way, I could get a hug.

[NoelHC]

I am pleased you enjoyed it, they are a joy for sure. As the old saying goes, "If I had known grandkids were so much fun I would have had them first." Thanks for visiting.
