Four years ago today I was lurking round Darwin hospital waiting to finally meet Little P. After the initial shock of his creation had worn off , I threw myself into the idea of being a grandma with gusto, starting with choosing a Nanna name that didn't make me sound ancient. That's why I'm Bella. Plus I liked the idea that Little P would be speaking Italian from an early age.
I was actually present the moment he popped into the world to say hello for the first time. And I was determined to be the coolest grand parent ever. My love for him was instant. So please indulge this very proud Bella for just this one post while I tell you all about how fabulous our grandson Ethan (Yes- he does have an actual name ) actually is.
First hold and already the coolness is evident.
Mr. P and I adore this little guy beyond all reason.
He's gutsy and will try anything once.
He's good at sharing
He's into arts and crafts
He's cute and likes chocolate
And wants to be Fireman Sam when he grows up
He can swim like a fish
he has a sense of humour (an essential asset in the Pyjamas family )
And he loves to bake and just hang with the people he loves.
Happy 4th Birthday Little Dude. We love you because you make our world a better (and funnier)place. Everything is brighter with you around.
Great post Shay. Grandchildren are wonderful and bring such love and joy into our lives. Hugs......

Happy Birthday little P, I remember when my boy was was a nice little boy, now he's a smelly biggish boy with a smart mouth I'm hoping in a couple of years that the nice boy will return. And are you sure that he isn't going to be the incredible hulk when he grows up.
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous! and very lucky to have such an awesome Nana...oops Bella! Happy Birthday Ethan!!

Lovely, Shay. First grandchild in my life was a girl.. I could not stop crying from happiness. I remember L P's progress as his proud Bella tells us how clever this little guy is and those wonderful photos. You do still need two days rest after spending tim with him don't you? Thanks for the lovely post.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Little P. love those photos of you with him Shay. You need more!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you were my grandma, you'd be awesome and you would be older than me!!!
Nice to know that grandkids bring as much joy into your world as children do. Happy birthday Ethan!

Such a sweet post for sweet Little P! I hope he had a wonderful birthday. So if you're Bella (great name, btw), what does he call his grandpa?
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated birthday to Little P! Wow, he's 4 already! They grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Little P. Hi QIMP:-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Little P!
ReplyDeleteDid you know, on the day you were born, the #1 Song in Australia was "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas? Have your Bella play it for you while you two dance around the room. Hope your day was absolutely fabulous! :)
You're obviously dragging him up well in the coolness stakes ;o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little boy. You are a great Bella. You will always be there for him no matter what and that is what count, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday little dude! Anyone who loves chocolate is a friend of mine! My little one (he turned 5 a few weeks ago) loves to help around the kitchen and never misses an episode of Fireman Sam! Congrats Grandma...scratch that...Bella!...Bellissima!
