Therapeutic granddaughter
Oswin's being very good and a great distraction from the stress of redundancy and unemployment.
She's one and a half now and a happy little soul. Although she can't say any words yet, she has a wide range that she understands.
Phrases like "Give Grandad a bowl" or "Show me the curtains" get the correct response.
New words are being added daily. When we go for a walk, learning new words is part of the game. 'Tree' and 'lamp post' got added to the list today. You know she's got it when you ask her to show you one and she walks forward and touches it.
We also dropped in on a local toddler's 'jingle' session and we'll probably take her again next week. She enjoyed some of the action rhymes and playing with various shakers and bells. It was good to see her start interacting with other children towards the end of the session.
(If one has to be out of work, at least the plus side is that it happened at a time when her parents really needed a regular break - an energetic toddler can be the last straw when you're already under the weather.)

We took her to a toddler group at a local church today. (Luckily, they don't insist on you being a Christian). she enjoyed that too. Played with lots of toys, zoomed round with a toy pushchair at great speed and occasionally interacted with other children.
I was pleased to see that she was still confident and happy even when I was out of her line of sight.

I am glad you have her. I am sure she keeps you busy and happy. Having a granny is better than having a million! (figuratively speaking).
