Romeo... his mom has his face all over "Facebook" so I figured it would be okay to show his sweet little face here... ;)He likes to rearrange the little trinkets on the sofa table. He especially likes to rearrange a group of small ceramic stars... there are about a dozen of the stars, just laying on the table in a pile... and Romeo plays with them every day when he's here... making patterns, stacking... "look now Grandma!"... When he goes back home to Dallas, whatever pattern of the stars he has left... I leave... I dust around them for weeks without moving them. Sometimes I walk by and touch them, knowing his little hands touched them last.
Grandkids... they have our hearts... missing my little Romeo down here in French Lique...
ps... if it had just been Little Romeo visiting, Grandpa would have been fine. It was Romeo's entourage that was causing Grandpa angst... we have rescheduled Romeo's visit for later in the summer and will see him soon...
He is a cutie! What a sweet story of memories. Get that bathroom fixed and have him down. On second thought, have him down now! shower outside, most other things could be done out in the woods as well (kinda like camping) and I'm sure he would be a good gopher for tools. Go-pher the wretch, go-pher the screw driver, go-pher Grandma!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your new venture.

Your little Romeo is precious. You made me want to cry because he is missing his visit with you. I don't have grandkids yet, but my youngest is leaving for college in 4 weeks and I am trying to hold myself together. We mother's and grandmother's just put our hearts right out there. Children fill our homes (and hearts) with love and happiness. It's not quite the same after they're gone.
ReplyDeleteI hope Romeo gets a chance to visit you soon!

Aw, I hope you get to see him before the summer's over.
ReplyDeleteDixie, he is such a cute guy! I am so blessed to have my grands all living close by. I'm so sorry you haven't been able to see him in awhile. laurie
ReplyDeleteHi Dixie, what a sweet grandson.
ReplyDeleteI have two grandkids visiting me this weekend from Utah. Right now they are asleep and I am getting caught up on some blogs before retiring to bed. I don't get to see mine often either because they all live in other states. They are so much fun and they do have our hearts and do we love to spoil them when they come to our house to visit!
Hope you see him soon.
Love, Ann
Hi Mom! I loved reading all the comments. Makes me sad that we were not able to visit, but we will see ya soon. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThat smile is Priceless!!!
ReplyDeletesorry you had to delay the visit
Have a great Day!

Such a sweet post and tribut to a cute grandson.
ReplyDeleteMy summer visits with my grandparents in Floresville were so special and wonderful memories are still replayed.
Will Romeo visit later this summer? Texas school's start sooo much later than the Ga. schools.
You are so sweet, Dixie. I would love to go junking with you too. Romeo is adorable. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's in the stars Dixie...he has to get down for a visit...fast!
ReplyDeleteHe is absolutely handsome. Makes my heart ache with yours. I'm fortunate the kids live fairly close. I don't get to see Graycie as much as I would like, but I'm always over the moon when I do!
Debbie
Your grandson reminds me of mine! I just love my little guy! That thing you do with the stars sounds like something I would do too! They truly have our hearts!! I love his name too! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYep! I know EXACTLY what you're saying.....when my little guy was reallllly little he'd leave nose and finger prints all over the glass doors....I left them there forever...they always made me smile...Aren't they just the most precious little things? Your little guy is just too dang cute!
