Reasons to be cheerful 🙂

Today my neighbours grandson turned 2. He is a gorgeous, happy little boy who has the best parents. I cannot see him because of Covid but I sent him a garage and cars from he Toot Toot VTech range. His Mum sent me this photo this morning and he loves it. Social media can be wonderful. I might not get my Cwtches but I can see him enjoy it.

lucky boy. It looks a lot like the garage my little brother got back in the 70's. we all loved playing with it. It even has the lift.

I thought it was lovely. I like V tach as it teaches more the more they play xxx

Such a bright and happy picture! I worked with hospitalized children for many years. Nothing like play time to keep a two year old from thinking of their illness.

Great reminder!

I know Kay. When we removed children or took them for Child Protection medical however traumatic the situation toys helped distract and engage. Xxx

What a lucky little boy to have such a thoughtful gift & such a lovely caring & generous neighbour in his life❤ X

[CecilyParsley in reply to daisydayz]

Thank you. He lives about ten miles from us. His Mum and her sister were always in my house or I would help with homework, give them lifts etc. His Mum and Dad are just lovely people. The last time I held him was over a year ago. I had the garage sent directly to him and his Mum packed it for me. It made me smile today xxx

[daisydayz in reply to CecilyParsley]

& so it should make you smile Cecily.. our little people are so special to us❤ I have a little grandson & he never fails to make me smile😁 XX

Brilliant, that garage is one my grandson Henry, also two, thoroughly enjoys as well. The photo conveys so much.

Best wishes Kevin

Thank you Kevin, it made me so happy that he liked it. He is such a gorgeous little boy. I remember playing with his Mum at his age 🙂

How lovely and how thoughtful Cecily. xxx Happy birthday to him from me as well. 💕

[CecilyParsley in reply to LalSD]

Thank you ❤️ Xxx

What I wouldn’t give to sit in a baby grow and play cars 🚗😂❤️.. what a lovely pic you’ve posted . I’m sure I had a garage with a “lift” which I used to put sweets in 😂.Such a thoughtful present. Big hugs to you xx

[CecilyParsley in reply to Tiggywoos]

I would love to watch him play. His Mum is so thoughtful she brought him on the doorstep to open his Christmas present which was a dinosaur that sings and a fox and badger hoodie. Needless to say he was not interested in the hoodie but loved the dinosaur xxx

[Tiggywoos in reply to CecilyParsley]

The hoodie sounds lovely ! You can buy just the cutest kids clothes 😍😍

[CecilyParsley in reply to Tiggywoos]

I bought him fabulous dungarees last year from Jo Jo Maman. Fabulous quality and soooo cute xxx

[svfarmer]

That is lovely, reminds me many years ago with my 3 boys with their cars and garages - what a lovely thing to buy for him and what a gorgeous little boy xx

[CecilyParsley in reply to svfarmer]

I cannot tell you what it means to Neil and I to be able to share in watching this gorgeous boy grow up. When you are childless you are also grandchild less so it is wonderful seeing his lovely face brighten my inbox and warm my heart. I am so proud of his Mum, she has grown into an intelligent, compassionate young woman. So happy to be a part of their journey is some small way xxx

[svfarmer in reply to CecilyParsley]

Yes I can imagine it means the world to you and Neil - your neighbours are so lucky to have you as a neighbour ❤️

[CecilyParsley in reply to svfarmer]

Aww thank you, strangely we are frequently falling out with her mother and stepfather but we think the world of her, her husband and little boy. It will be wonderful to go and visit , we have an invite to play in the garden but with my leg I cannot manage their drive as it is like a ski slope. When I am well there will be no stopping me lol xxx

He’s gorgeous!

[CecilyParsley in reply to Hidden]

He certainly is xxx

[honeybug]

Oh CP this is the most wonderful gift. He will always treasure this as he makes wonderful memories with it.

He’s adorable as you said.

Bunches of Cwtches sent to you love.

EJ 🥰♥️🙏🕊

[CecilyParsley]

[CecilyParsley in reply to Horsewhisper]

Yes it made me so happy. His Mum sends me lots of photos every time they do anything, it is so lovely xxx

[Horsewhisper in reply to CecilyParsley]
