Raising Grampy- Chapter 26

Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, just hanging out with Grampy.

I start every morning going over the plan! Actually, Luke doesn’t lick my face too much. Only if Grampy misses a spot during cleanup. Luke is my buddy.

This was another week of discoveries. I discovered this……

Then Grampy picked me up and moved me. I don’t even know what it is but he said I will. All I know now is the adults spend a lot of time in here.

Then I discovered this…..

And again Grampy pulled me away. He said it was “yucky.”

Then I climbed up on this…….

And AGAIN Grampy pulled me away and said, “No,no.” I keep that man busy.

I was at my Uncle Dougie’s house last week when I noticed that his kitchen cabinets still work. I think I told you before that my daddy broke ours. They don’t seem to work anymore.

Grampy had that “No” word again.

I started a new game with Grampy this week. I have decided that all pillows now belong on the floor.

He doesn’t seem to mind…. until cleanup.

Yesterday I stole Grampy’s phone.

The adults are always staring at these things so I wanted to see what the fuss was.

The big news this week was it was Grampy’s birthday! I don’t know what a birthday is because I’ve never had one but I guess Grampy has had a lot! We had a cake with candles on it and there were so many candles I thought one of those big red fire trucks was going to show up.

That morning mommy and I went shopping.

I carried it through the whole store and then gave it to Grampy.

He let me play with it all day because that’s the kind of guy he is.

Did he show you the present I got him? Well actually mommy bought it but it was my idea.

It’s called “Grandfather.” Grampy’s the big guy. I’m the little guy. We showed everyone up north and my Uncle Matt said it doesn’t look like Grampy. There’s too much hair. That’s a good one Uncle Matt.

We celebrated his birthday Sunday by going swimming and then dinner and cake. I was so pooped I slept all night and mommy had to wake me up Monday morning. Those birthdays are tiring. And guess what? It’s okay, you don’t have to guess. Today is my mommy’s birthday! I hope I can sleep in tomorrow!

I don’t know when my birthday is but I should be a real pro at this soon.

Oh and one more thing…. we’re going to Grammy’s house in a couple of days! There’s another party for my Aunty Kat! No it’s not a birthday it’s because she finished at a college or something. I need to get another balloon.

I am just Mr. Party Goer I guess! It’s a good thing my Grampy likes to take naps with me.
