September 2007

My main impression of September...  being called grandpa.

When Kaylie was born just under two years ago, I was asked how it feels to be a grandpa.  My response at the time was that it doesn't really feel any different, at least not until she calls me grandpa.

Well.. now she does.  And while there are some reservations to actually hearing it.. well, it's just so cute.  See.. she doesn't say grandpa, or papa, or anything like that.  Kaylie has begun to actually call me g-pa (jee - pa).  Now, how she got the 'jee' sound out of grandpa, I'm not sure.. but it is plain as day.

Last weekend when Stephanie & Jerome, along with Briana & Lance, went to Cedar Point for an early fall day, I watched Kaylie for the day, my first time to spend the day with her, just the two of us.  I heard g-pa a lot.  "Want ice."  "Read Story."  We sure got to spend a nice day together. 

And... it's nice being a grandpa.
