Handsome


It was a damn fine day with my damn fine grandson.
He invented a yoga pose called the "Mingo" which involves standing on one leg like a flamingo.
He took a nap with me. He figured out how to make reins for his horse. He got as dirty as dirty can be. He shared a carrot with the mule.
There was a lot more. Everything. We did everything.

Just a damn fine day.

  2. He is a damn fine boy as Mr. Lawrence would say.

  6. What a lucky little cowboy---I don't know how many daycare facilities allow the naked rolling in the dirt kind of essential play. You wouldn't even want them to. That's a family thing! Now, you ARE going to get him a pony when he's three, aren't you? I mean, he looks like such a natural in that hat...

  9. Although I would have thought it impossible, he just gets cuter and cuter. Where did the cowboy hat come from?

    You are a damn fine grandmother.

  11. Ohhh, it's true, you have to get a damn pony!

    Aw, you're going to love it :)

    Does Mingo involve flapping, by any chance? Most excellent.

  12. I vaguely remember when I could do the Mingo for ages at a time --

  14. I love the photo. He's a doll. I also wish I had his energy!

  15. The Mingo is your favorite pose. That's how I picture you when we were growing up - standing on one leg with the phone tucked in your shoulder, stirring a pot and tending to a baby.

  16. DTG- Well, Owen's pose is different. He was leaned forward with both hands on the tongue of the trailer with one leg raised as high as possible in the air. But yes, you are right- I had my own Mingo and still practice it daily, with a baby or without.
    I love you so.
