What a difference a year makes.
Our grandson is an active boy
from the moment he wakes.
To his parents this bundle of joy
is adorable and full of affection,
but he sparkles and he’s at his best
when he has grandpa’s attention.
The old man will make funny faces
and let him throw toys on the floor.
He’s begun to be steady on his pins
and trots to the kitchen to explore
the cupboards housing the crockery.
Who knows what he’ll think of next,
he’s bound to discover new trickery.
To chase after him is exhausting
and when time comes to go home
his grandpa will be glad of a rest.

He is absolutely delightful, Bee. Very bright indeed. We see him developing both phisically and mentally every day. He'll be a year old exactly on the coming Sunday and we shall indulge him on his birthday. He regularly comes to visit his nonni (grandparents) once a week. Thanks for reading and lovely comment.

Much appreciated, Luigi x

Glad you can enjoy him, and have a verse record for him to keep. Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannon. I wrote a ditty for his birth, so I thought I'd follow with one to celebrate his first birthday. Thanks for stopping by.

How time flies Luigi, it only seems like yesterday you were telling us of his birth.

He looks an absolute treasure in the photo.

A great tribute poem to a full of life little boy. I very much enjoyed reading.

It's a wonderful age, everything an exploration and he looks so full of life.  I expect you enjoy him wearing you out.  Have a happy day.

 It is indeed a wonderful age, Helen, and one to be treasured. Children's capacity for exploration is awesome. I would be lying if I said that I don't get pleasure from his relentless activity. I look forward to our weekly encounters.

Best, Luigi

How did I miss this one, Luigi?

Such a little treasure!  He certainly has a look of his granddad about himsmiley

Gosh, I could really identify with so much of this...those days are gone, though, for me, more's the pity...so cherish them, Luigi, but you don't need me to tell you that.

Dear Tina, I am only a novice at this game but I'm learning the rules as I go along. As you know we brought up two daughters yet the experience that we gained goes out of the window when it comes to a grandson. The approach that grandparents take is much more relaxed and there isn't the same anxiety that parents feel. We keep a vigilant eye though and steer him away from sockets and computer cables  to which he seems particularly attracted even at his tender age. Needless to say, we love him to bits.
