They most certainly do cheer you up. But they do have their moments. I looked after my 4 year old last night and when in the bath I couldn't tell youwhere he hid his marble. How it got in the bath heaven knows. After a lot of laxatives hey presto. X

Was a worry at the time but you have to laugh. My Father who is 94 has a very sharp wit said that he was a very clever little boy and that by the age of 10 he would be a magician and pop marbles out of his ears. Made me laugh. Ha ha...

Too funny! How old is he now?

Still 4 .

So you've got a few years to go before he becomes the Great Houdini!

He has the years. Ha ha. When he is 10, I'll be nearly a young 70. Do you have children and grandchildren. My grandchildren make me laugh so much. Just so many little things that mean nothing. Bit like the marble effect. Come to think of it I did take him through a car wash yesterday and he said the shampoo looks like a marble with all the different colours. Also the night ended here with a double rainbow. Food for thoughts. X

Hahahahahaha! He's consistent, I'll give em that!
I have 2 daughters and 3 grandsons. Tow of the grandsons (the 19 and 7 year old) live in the US. The 1 year old lives in Manchester, which is about 5 1/2 hours away from where we live. I was very close to the 19 for the first 12 years of his life and yes, HE MADE ME LAUGH!!!!

I have 3 grandsons aged 9, 3 and 1 and one granddaughter aged 4, who just emailed me with an account of her day that involved a game called exploding kittens! 😹
The grandson pictured is the one I looked after while his parents worked.
You must have been a young mum. I was 21.
EEK!
He looks like an adorable little monkey who gets up to all kinds of trouble. Gorgeous little guy.
He is, at the other side of the world though. 😦
No he's not on the other side of the world. He's right there, under your left breast, pumping all his joy in life through your heart.

What a little smasher, Jane. How old is he? Never thought I’d be a granny as son was getting older and not settling, then suddenly out-of-the-blue he met “the one” three years ago, married and along came two smashers, Zac now 2 and Hannalina just 1. I’m in clover as is Grandad!
Isn’t it amazing. All that love.
He’s 3.
Aah, the trusting threes - he’s a dear looking little chap and I can imagine he makes your heart sing, Jane.
He does. I cared for him for two years and he stayed with me while his brother was born by C Section 6 weeks early and allowing his parents to be at the hospital. We forged a strong bond.
That wonderful bond will be there forever,
Thanks Celtic, I miss him.
At least these days we have FaceTime.
That’s what got me pining for him. I sent him a remote control car and he spent time setting it off and getting me to say ready, set, go! Amazing, watching him, as clear as day, playing in his garden.
We got that bit right about the future, but we aren’t wearing silver space suits.
Not yet!
So adorable! I’m not lucky enough to be a Gramma, so get cheered up by pictures other grands post, also kitten videos. ❤️
Bring on the kittens!
4-legged friends are wonderful too, Mstiles- loveable companions. We’ve had so many dogs and cats over the years - at one time we had two golden retrievers together with a cat who produced three kittens. Such fun! Perhaps you can post a link to your favourite kitten video so that we can all enjoy?
Golden retrievers are such pleasant dogs, as for kittens well they are just lovely.
I will see if my son can help me post one, need tech help! Yes 4-leggeds are wonderful, they don’t care how you look or if you are crabby. Cats in need seem to find me and also my son. Strays looking for a home. He has a beautiful Siamese that adopted him.
Cats used to find my mum too. They are not daft.
“they don’t care how you look or if you’re crabby”. I agree, and they seem to be so in tune with your feelings that they sense when you are sad and don’t leave your side. As for strays, our very last cat was found lost and wandering in the street, feeding from the refuse sacks when I was doing my evening walk to help my PMR. I brought her in and the amount of love she gave was amazing - amazing that she came when I was struggling with PMR and I just wonder how much my recovery was helped by her.
A lovely little spirit.
So adorable ,they are such a joy when you see them,my grandsons are all over twelve years old now but l have a gorgeous little great grandson ,he is nearly one year old and he certainly makes my day when l see him .
Don’t they though? The big answer to what’s it all for?
What a wonderful site this is. To explore joy after pain with ignorance within our condition . Grandchildren understand things within their mindsite. They are so bright. We are too and we will getry better for the sake of them. Up and on☺x
Stop showing of you. I still can't post a picture? How do you post to this site. ? Xx
I think you can only add a picture to a new thread post - not in the middle of a thread.
But how do you post a photo over to this website??
Lord only knows - who is it on the forum says she loves being a techie????
in reply to morrison
You need the photo to be in a gallery or album you can access easily. Post a message on the forum. It gives you the choice to post a photo. Click and it should give you options as to where you have the photo. Navigate to the photo and select it. It will appear in your post and you can upload post.
Ps I use smartphone and my photo albums and gallery are accessed via the "documents" choice when you click add photo.

You make it sound so easy. I'llet give it a go later.
in reply to morrison
Everything is easy once you kniw hiw to do it. It seems impossible until then. I would suggest writing key steps down because when you come to do it the instructions above won't be there.
I want to see everybody’s babies and cats and dogs now.
Adorable! I love the curiosity in his eyes.
Thank you. I just wanted to share him for a moment.
Thank you for your indulgence everyone. Just felt like showing him off. Intermittent blizzards here in Yorkshire. 😢🌈
Was he thinking something cheeky? Looks like he’s planning something!
Very apt T shirt, ‘there is a light that never goes out’ Him to you, and you to him I suspect.

Hope you have shown the kids the snow in the garden today. A good few inches and has drifted this time. My dog came in covered after 2 mins.
SheffieldJane in reply to
Yes, I sent pictures, 3 of them have never seen snow and Theo probably can’t remember. It’s good Snowball and snowman snow- really dry, powdery and adhesive.
You got that right. Also the sun travels between us. They’ve got morning sun now.
Reminds me of when my 2 were littlies and off to cub camp or similar. I’d tell them if they were homesick to look at the moon, and I’d look at the moon too, that way we’d be connected.
It went hand in hand with our regular saying:
~ I love you to the moon.
~ I love you to the moon and back.
I love little boys 
So do I. There is something so tender about them. I filled a small teddy with my love and left it with him on my last day. It had been in my bed with me all my visit. He said “ I will love him sooo much”,
Sounds like my Masey. I love you so much Nana. I say how much with huge open arms and his little arms stretch even bigger this much.
Me, too!
Understandable! What an adorable face!
He's lovely!! A real treasure, I can understand how he must cheer you up!! We have no grandchildren yet, I envy my friends so much, who knows one day !! 😉😉😉😉
I didn’t think I’d get any either, my daughters didn’t seem interested. Just shows you what I don’t know.
Very cute!
Lovely picture, lovely boy, no wonder you miss him! He won't forget though that time you spent together and that bond that was formed. Good that we can have face time and continue that contact. I've now got 7 grandchildren, ranging from 20 to 1, with twins due in April bringing the number up to 9!!! As an only child who had three children I find it amazing how a family grows.We are very blessed - they are all lovely - 6 boys and 1 girl!! The twins expected are a boy and a girl.
Wow that is so lovely. I bet your family get togethers are fantastic. How exciting about the twins. Lucky you!
Very cute! Grands nourish our souls! Played with mine yesterday, Jonah 3 and Juliette 1. Left as soon as the crying started!😢
What lovely names they have Sandy. I hope you are keeping well. I am finding 7 mgs a trial.
Sorry to learn of your trial. I am tapering to 10 and periodically have random pains. Just finished week 1 so hopefully, it’s initial adjustment.
He cheers us all up!!!! what a beautiful boy! Leaving for Sweden in 2 weeks to see my two little guys.
I wish mine were as near yogabonnie.
First time I thought Minnesota to Sweden or Alaska was near!! I feel your pain!
Do you have little ones in Alaska too yogabonnie?
I am heading to California in 11 days to see 2 of my children that I haven't seen for 8 months. Don't know if seeing them or being in the warm sunshine cheers me more. Booked the trip after a discouraging week of sickness. I needed something to look forward to.
My 3 year old granddaughter tells me she likes me and misses me. ( that might almost be better than love).
Nice post Jane❤️
Enjoy bunnymom ❤️ One hug and you’ll be better.
When I am feeling glum I think of the Sun and stars, which are always shining above the clouds.
I will remember that. ✨

I go one further in that I consider we are all astronauts flying through space on the spaceship of ours. Don't think about that too much...i.e only gravity keeps us planted. 😂

In silver suits - it is the future. I can be obscure too. 🤩
Gorgeous....thank goodness for Skype and FaceTime hey? xxx
Thank you yes, at least we have that. He can boss me about from Australia. 🙃
