Our grandsons first visit in 4months since lockdown . We were unsure how he would react to seeing us and we kept him at arms length and no cuddles, it was so hard. We agreed we would let him have leg cuddles and hand holds that would be arms length, what we didn’t expect was the joy in his face on seeing us and the hand hold that lasted over 5 mins that wouldn’t let go. Once he got used to the fact we were not going to disappear he was happy to run around and play, he went home happy and tired.
We had a very short first time hold of our 7 week old granddaughter too which was lovely, it was short and sweet and we are the first people apart from her parents to hold her since the midwife at her birth. We did all this outside in our back garden, it was cool and rather windy but it was so enjoyable, we all needed that connection after so long.
Nice on black
Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.
So happy you could be together....and he looks so happy to see you ! I understand your joy.....I finally got to spend some time with my sons and grandkids after 4 long months.
What a heart-warming story. He's absolutely adorable. Love his hair. We looked after our baby grandson today for the morning, first time since lockdown. Just a walk in the park in the pram and a little nap on the way home. Then back to our garden for a play before we took him home. No proper cuddles just in and out of the pushchair. It was a joy to see him smile - and even cry when he couldn't see me!
He's an adorable young man. Same thing happened to us when we came in close contact with my grandson - we were unsure how to handle the situation. But now we are back to normality. He is at our house for longer hours than at his home because his parents have to go to work every day.
This is such a great picture. He looks to be a very handsome young man. So glad you got to see and touch them all! I think we are all learning how important the element of touch is to our lives.
So wonderful for you, and what a great memory photo! You are very fortunate to see your family. We are hoping to see some of our family at the start of August - the last time was the beginning of January.
So great to finally get together!
