Giggles of Thanksgiving

One of the happiest things we ever do is spend time with our granddaughters. They are old enough now that each has her own personality, likes and dislikes. They each have things they like to play at Nanny and Poppy's house. Rick and I spend our time playing with them and soaking up the joy.

We were recently lucky enough to have breakfast with the girls when their mother did a first aid course early one morning. They were hungry but still pleasant and so full of fun. They ate their oaty cereal with gusto. Then cheese and yogourt made the menu but the best part of the meal was the giggles.

They both laughed and giggled their way through breakfast as I sat with them and Rick served. When one of them started to laugh the other soon joined and before we knew it, we were gigling too. Silly things caused giggles, like Nanny's imitation of a helicopter or a train. Poppy's jokes, which Sylvie understood, caused Caitlin to laugh as well. However at nineteen months, she does not comprehend everything yet. It will not be much longer though and Caitlin will understand the jokes too.

How blessed are those who get to enjoy the giggles of young children. We do not take a minute of this time for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
