I have two beautiful grandchildren. Cecelia Anne was born on October 13, 2012 and on November 13, 2014 Cole Ralph was born. I love being a grandparent BUT... they live in England!
One of the ways we stay connected is through Skype, we talk just about everyday, if not more than once a day. I can skype on my computer and my phone. If I am shopping and want to show Courtney something I will Skype her and vise versa. The other night Courtney told me Cece was using her fork as a phone and said "Keke mom needs your help!" Cece calls me Keke. When we are on Skype Cole always smiles when I talk to him, he probably smiles when everyone talks to him but it sure makes me feel good! Skype is helping us stay connected and it also is good for Cecelia and Cole to get to know their family on this side of the pond. I am very thankful for Skype.
Another thing I do is send Cece and Cole a Little Golden Book. Little Golden Books have been around for over 60 years and there are more than 200 titles with different authors and illustrators. There are the classics The Little Pokey Puppy, Seven Little Postmen and Tawny Scrawny Lion just to name a few. And one of the newer titles is The Please and Thank You Book. So even though I am not there I can share my love for books and also every once is awhile give a little lesson on life.
When they visit us is May I am anxious to share How the Turtle Got Its Shell-Tales from Around the World. Learning about and celebrating other cultures is one of my passions, I look forward to sharing that passion with Cole and Cecelia!
Stay Sweet!
