Double the trouble and double the fun


I've the unique experience, at this point of my life, to be surrounded by my family.  Two of the grandchildren are very close in age, and it's very entertaining to see them interact.  Brooklyn and Jonathan are 3 months apart, and they are turning two this year; they are at the age when they are loving, playful, cranky and dangerous all in a matter of minutes.  They must be watched carefully when they are together.  Double trouble without a doubt.  I personally enjoy seeing them figure things out-because they are very smart, and communicate well to work together.  Brooklyn has a sweet tooth, so she brings the big tin of sugar cookies to Jonathan and he opens it for her.  Jonathan also can open the refrigerator for a snack, and can open the cases of DVD and uses the TV controls.  All very valuable skills for a toddler.  Altogether they are normal children living close to each other and enjoying every bit of it. I enjoy being able to see it first hand. I'm not sure their parents are so amused, but I'm.  
 Grandmotherhood rocks!

Happy Birthday to Jazmine Leigh Joyner Livingston!
A quarter of a century goes by fast... Did you know that I was almost 25 when you were born?  This means that when your Peanut turns your age, you will be mine, and we'll be even cuter.
