My parents visited to meet their newest granddaughter. Both my parents. I wondered how Dad would hold up with all that attention for a whole six days, but he did beautifully. Here is a sample of his specialty: entertaining masses of kids without ever leaving your seat! (You’ll have to imagine the actions that went along with this game, as well as the hysterical children’s laughter.)
Curlies: Grandpa!!! Play with us!
Grandpa: OK, let’s play patty cake. (Note: Paddy cake? Pat-a-cake? Patty cake? )
All: Patty cake, patty cake, Baker’s man, Bake me a cake just as fast as you can
Grandpa: Roll it and roll it, and pinch it and pinch it*, and pull it and pull it, and slap it and slap it, and spank it and spank it, and pick out all the raisins, and toss it way up high–oops it fell on the floor, and now it’s ready to eat!
*No wildlife was harmed in the playing of this game.
wait a minute! You had another baby!!! where have I been? super cute and congrats!!
What a nice moment to catch on film:)
Ha ha! That is the best patty cake rendition I have ever heard. Such a sweet photo of the two.
Haha! Grandpa is so funny
That is such a sweet picture. Your little girl is so beautiful!
LOL! That’s a much funner version of patty cake than I learned! Love it! That’s so nice your parents were able to visit. How fun!
