Oh joy, Mike and I looked after Nathan today as Becky wanted to go shopping for a present for Dean's Birthday next week. It was the first time we had him to ourselves and we relished every moment. A little nervous at first because someone else's child is a great responsibility and it is so many years since we had anything to do with a baby. Amazing how it all comes back automatically, feeding, changing, playing.
Mike proudly took Nathan down the road in a pram - the actual pram that Becky was in herself. We kept it all these years and it looks as good as new. Of course this type of baby carriage is long out of fashion because of the life styles of people today. They simply are not practical to lift in and out of cars but you cannot beat them for comfort and Nathan is in it every time he comes to visit. It was lovely to watch the proud "Grandy" push his Grandson off down the road. It also gave a strong feeling of continuity that Becky was in that pram and now her son is in it.
Nathan is starting to give little smiles and his eyes are everywhere. He was as good as gold, a real little angel. He has very long fingers which they say is a sign of being artistic. He is the image of his Dad. Well, if he turns out half as loving, caring and considerate as his Dad, he will not go far wrong. If he has his Mum's intelligence as well, he cannot fail.
He was with us for several hours and we had a lovely and blessed time.
