It has been quite a while since I have written and even longer since I last wrote about Little Man. Little Man is now seven. Seems impossible, but he turned seven on Friday this past week.
Hubby and I traveled to see him and were able to spend time with him. It was glorious! I always come away with a lesson learned from him and this time was no exception.
Friday we spent a couple of hours with him in the pool. It was a fun time with lots of laughter and splashing and rough-housing. He showed us his jumps into the pool, his cannonball, his karate kick jump, and his vertical alligator jump. All named appropriately, and each delivered with grace and style. If they were to be judged by this Grammy, they would all be a 10.
We played cards, and Rock em, Sock em Robots. It was a tie at the cards, but only because the game was interrupted by dinner and then forgotten for a bit. I lost the battle of the robots, much to the glee of the seven year old.
The lesson I have learned this past weekend? To live life with joy. Embrace the fun that life holds. Jump into the pool of life instead of gently lowering yourself into the tide and flow. Most of all, hug, laugh and make funny noises when words fail you.
Happy Birthday Little Man, you will always have my heart as I learn from your example.

I am so glad you liked this Diane. Thank you for the love and encouragement you so freely give.
He sounds great, I’m sure he would get on well with my six and eight year old. Hard work but lots of fun to be had.
he truly is a wonder and our lives are so full and blessed with him. Thanks for visiting and leaving a message!
Little Man sounds just wonderful!
Fancy, he is, of course, I am just his grandmother, so of course he is! Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment.
