This last week we braved corona virus and long drives with kids in the car to meet up with Emily’s family at a house on Beech Mountain in North Carolina. This was tremendous fun for everyone, and the kids didn’t even complain about going for hikes in the woods, probably because their cousins were there. Also the house had a hot tub where they all spent hours.
In the car yesterday:
W: ‘Wayne is my Grandad’
Me: ‘yes he is, and so is Andrew’
W: ‘no he isn’t’
Me: ‘yes he is’
W: ‘Oh’
Me: ‘Who is Andrew’
W: ‘He’s my Grandad’
Me: ‘and Wayne’
W: ‘he’s my grandad too’
Me: ‘yes, you have two Grandads. And Nana is your Grandma’
W: ‘No she isn’t’
Me: ‘then who is Nana?’
W: ‘Nana is Nana’
Me: ‘and who is Gran Helen?’
W: ‘Chris Walker’
True story.
One of wilder’s favourite activities these days is to draw with chalk whenever and wherever. He often draws family members - can you recognise who is who?
