Hooray for grandparents. They turn up, always bearing gifts and ready to bestow upon their grandchildren as much love and attention as they can fit into the limited time that they spend with them. Our families live over 200 miles away, so generally come to stay for a few days at a time and this is a godsend for myself and my partner as we get some respite from playing Fireman Sam and Bob the Builder. This is also the one situation where it is a good thing that we are both from broken homes...it means our children have 7 grandparents instead of 4...there's Nannie, Grandma and her partner and Bumpy and Grandad and their partners...more presents, more love and more help!
Nannie arrived today, again armed with presents and desperate to see the boys. After extinguishing around 56 fires and spending the day sliding 'down the hole' however, I'm sure I can see signs of fatigue. At least it means she fits in with our household bedtime of 9.00pm!
