Creative Grandparenting 101
After being climbed over and up several times by the Chick this morning I asked her if she was a monkey cause she climbed me like a tree.
Chick as she's climbing up into my lap again: Nanny's a banana tree.
Nanaw Banana Tree as she's being stabbed in her bark by little toes: Oh, NO, there's a monkey climbing me! What color monkey are you?
Chickie monkey as she reaches the top branches: I'm a blue monkey!
Nanaw Banana Tree: OUCH, monkey! What are you pulling my leaves out for?
Chickie monkey: I not pull out you leaves. I'm picking you bananas to eat em.
(sounds of munching, creaking branches)
Nanaw Banana Tree: You need to climb down little, blue monkey cause my limbs are going to break soon.
Chickie monkey: You not broke Nanny, you be alright.
I wanna know where it is written in the Grandma Book that you'll have to spend time as a tree. I thought I was wise about this stuff and knew all about having to be stuff like dogs, cats, and ducks, but that tree stuff is tough.

Blue monkays is the best monkays, even if they's feet be pokey. :)
You make such a good Nanaw tree, though.
We have to be careful if we're lying down. Dylan will hop on our backs and yell "Yeeha!" and start riding horsey.
LOL! I think you did well!
YIKES! Being a parent is tough enough, but I'm not sure I can handle what you're going through as a grandparent! Well, if you can be a banana tree, I think I can manage. Hang in there, Brenda!
I don't think Nanny was having fun but I do believe a little monkey was right in her elemet with her Nanny. Have a good one Brenda.
LOL! My five year old is into climbing too! Gotta love 'em!
Oh how I enjoyed this one - can see the love in your writing.
nanny I was a trapoline and a bed last night so she was still in bouncing form when she got home LOL
Well you have never had a CHICKIE before!!
I love you Brenda! Would you be my Grandma too?(((((((Brenda)))))))
