My 3 year old GS on Skype telling me he missed me and wanted to come to my house and go to the chocolate factory again, all in perfect English! Up till now we have had a mixture of languages but he has now fully taken on board that his GPs are too stupid to understand unless he speaks English!

My DGD was 5 and in reception class at a small village school. I went with DD to the end of year leavers afternoon. They had the usual prize giving. My DGD won the class prize for attendance, and all-round good work. I was so proud that tears ran down my cheeks. DD knew about it but kept it as a surprise.

My little 2 year old grandson was lying in bed supposed to be having a nap on the last day before they were departing back to NZ after 6 weeks with us - I looked down at him beaming up at me and realised I'd not see him again for a long time. Had to leave the room for a few minutes sad

When my grandson went on his first school trip, he was five, It was only a two hour outing. I met him when the coach arrived back, he had bought a postcard , written on it in pencil his address, telephone number and Granny I love you ,signed with his name ŵith surname. I still have it, he was 26 yesterday

On a different note. My GD1 was bullied at school. She was very brave and resilient about it. But also extremely sad. I cried many many tears because we could not really help her, being so far away. .
All is resolved now though

I'm not much of a one for crying, but my grandson did make a lovely "little donkey" a couple of years ago in the school carol service.
He was dancing along, swaying his donkey head to the music.

I took my grandson to nursery today as I usually do, I help him remove his coat and hat as we do and off he goes with his friends I usually just leave , decided to talk to staff for a few minutes as I was talking I looked over to where he was playing and he looked up and saw I was still there his face lit up like he’d not seen me for years he gave me a great big wave and blew me a kiss. I had to excuse myself from talking to staff and on returning to car broke down with pure emotional crying I was so happy
Any one else had some thing that did the same
