I just came back from a one week trip to Manchester. Lots of great things happened. I love Manchester. We visited many places and I love their food and the malls.
But what I love most about my trip to Manchester was spending time with my granddaughters Theodora (20 mth old) and Athena (5 years)
The first 2 nights were really great, I loved every bit of our time together.
But on the 3rd day all I wanted was to rest, sometimes I wonder how young parents cope with looking after their children day in and day out.
Don’t get me wrong I love them but it’s so exhausting after spending a whole day with both of them.
Anyway, let’s get to the point of today’s post.
No two children are the same. Every unique part of them makes them who they are.
My older granddaughter is a very calm and highly sensitive child, while the youngest is very active. She can sleep through loud noises. Theo loves to play, she loves jumping on the bed and climbing things. She loves anything to do with throwing. She is also very independent, she knows her way around an iPad. She plays games on iPad independently and she can say a full sentence and she’s only 20 months old as the time I’m writing this blog (31/12/23)
My oldest granddaughter Athena is a calm collected girl. She’s very sensible about things.
One day her mum told me how she checked the writing on a sweet pack of its suitable for her little sister to eat 😃.
Her teacher onces told her mom that she’s a very smart girl and that she uses big vocabulary to explain stuff to her in class. Athena’s school reports are filled with good grades and full of praise from her teachers. I think she’s a nerd.
I love both of them equally because they are both unique and special in their own way.
I love that they look out for each other. Of course they do fight like all sisters do, but they love each other.
I love it when I catch Theo hugging and touching Nina’s hair (that’s what she calls her sister)
Just wanted to share how my trip went with you guys 😃❤️❤️
Wishing you guys a wonderful and happy New year!
May 2024 be a better year for you and your family.
Make 2024 a year that you will spend more time with your loved ones, remember to create more memories in the new year!
I have also decided to travel more in the new year, I will visit new places alone (God help me with this one)
Do you want to do something special for yourself and you have been putting it off?
DO IT NOW!
PLAN THAT TRIP – WRITE THAT BOOK – START THAT BUSINESS
Happy New Year guys
Love from Olu.
