We are a grandparent.

9.06 this morning, my wonderful daughter-in-law gave us our first grandchild. It's funny how life looks infinitely brighter now.

It's probably going to be a bit too early to take the child to this avvy's football match, do you think?

That's fantastic new hope you enjoy the new arrival

Excellent news, boy or girl?

Hallo Grandad!

 

[defy-one]

Get ready for baby sitting all over again! Congratulations :-)

It's a baby, innit! It doesn't matter which brand, as long as everything's in full working order, that's me happy!

Werthers for me.

Can I borrow it now and again?

Only if you've got some warm chocolate ice cream you love wiping off the walls.

Car seat cleaning a speciality.

My daughter's second was due yesterday but he seems quite comfortable staying where he is for the time being so I'm a bit on tenterhooks. Congratulations to your daughter-in-law and son. Grandchildren are great fun so you'll have some lovely times ahead of you.

Oh, it's ice cream? That's a relief.

Many congratulations! Pink or Blue?

Red or claret is going to be the more significant question long-term but I understand it is a boy.

probably but you should by now have a child seat & kiddy trailer.Being a grandparent is marvellous,it has so many advantages over being a mum & dad

Congrats to all the family
