For each of you all who have g,children, you will know how i feel today,,my grandaughter Emmy has kicked a football since she could toddle,,she,s 9 now, she has been playing in the mixed team on Sunday mornings in the league as goalkeeper, something she loves, and shows no fear,,the last 2 saturdays she has been over to Bournemouth to play and hone her skills with one of Arsenals training schools, last night a e,mail arrived at my daughters, telling her that Emmy has been selected to carry on training with them,as she has really impressed them,,woo hoo how proud i am,,oh well looks like nanny will be standing on the sidelines in all weathers,cheering her on,,,,,

I know how you feel. I have a granddaughter, Hannah who runs for Hampshire. She is 14.

I don't have any grandchildren.... just a grand-dog.... and I'm proud he sits, stays, and recalls.... not the same I know.... just similar-ish

But, I can imaging just how bursting with pride you are, not only because she's your grand-daughter, but because she's played so well to earn that place. Well done that girl!!!!

Scarves and rattles to the ready ....

Grandchildren are a complete joy. Well done Emmy (keep kicking) and Hannah (keep running). Our grandson is almost 1 so is trying to walk which is wonderful. He now has two teeth and we are proud of him always. xxxx
