"Hi, I'm Gail. You must be....I am so glad to finally meet you". "Hi, do you have a pool?" And so our first meeting began with the first of ever so many questions. What's that? How does that work? why? ....oh so many why's. I've always thought you should begin as you mean to go on, and that's exactly what M9 has done. I think I will be Nanna napping quite a bit at the end of this week :)
The plan to have my middle sized nephew here yesterday when M9 arrived really worked a treat. Not only did he and I get so much gardening done before M9 arrived, but it turns out they really got on well and became instant mates. So much so that when we took my nephew home my brother, sister inlaw and I were rained on with requests from both boys for us to stay for dinner and a bonfire....and yes...with marshmallows of course. M9 promptly declared the day `the best day of his life'. He told me that he had never been to a bonfire before and after some marshmallow cooking lessons was soon burning marshmallows as well as the rest of us. It was such a priveledge to be able to give him that opportunity. Those kinds of things are what being a kid is all about.
Today we played Wii and then went over to visit a couple that I know that live nearby. M9 was so quiet when we first got there but once he warmed up there was no stopping him. M9 had a ball there as we had hamburgers for lunch, then some chocolate and most importantly..they have a Wii.
He is currently teaching Sally, who it must be noted is deaf, how to play Pokemon. It is quite amusing as I had never thought to play that with her before...wonder why? why? why?
