Great photo's again and then a rhyming poem, AABB rhyme. You don't do that often but it makes a nice change. He has a nice bath tub:)

Dear Brooke,
This must be a really joyful time in your life, being able to see and absorb life anew through your grandson. I mean that in the most profound way I can. Each poem in this vein leaps with joy and innocence. Lovely poem--Ted

Comment from Adri7enne
It's an achievement to raise a happy child. Joy is something that blooms from within, but the germ has to be nourrished. Lots of love being generated in that little corner of the world. Loads of smiles! "If joy is measured by the smile, this task will take a long, long while." Play on, Brooke.

A beautiful new slant on "count your blessings." Another excellent piece of writing by this author. Sounds like this method by be more fun than just counting your blessings however:)

Hi. Good morning and a sunny smiley on it is. I love the picture, he was younger. I remember my nieces at a young age, when their smiles were infectious and when the simple wonder of a dragon fly brought out delight.
Thank you for giving me that memory.
