~*Giggling Grandma*~

From tiny rosebud lips
Tiny droplets dropping
'Oh no ! My best blouse'
Grandma continues rocking
~*~
You know what they say
'Spit Happens'

*Just giggling with Delaney Delights*

~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

Marge:  What a familiar picture this presents! But every bit of spit is worth having that baby to hold and cuddle!

The best new baby welcome poem I've ever read! It's sure to be a classic, to be cherished by all new grammas, grampas, moms dads....or anyone else who has ever been dribbled upon.

*Gosh ... thanks everyone !
Delaney is a delight and Grandma's can always get another blouse~

Little Miss Delaney was receiving guests this afternoon ... my friend June and I went to oooh and ahhh .. and fill up on those little sugar-neck kisses~

What love ... what love~

*Lord, if you're listening ...(and I think you are) ...
thank you from my heart for this precious child~
*Hugs*

AND HER GRANDMA!!! *G* Just had to tailcoat your prayer of gratitude. *S*

This is delightful, Marge... Best blouses become meaningless when there's an opportunity to snuggle angels... don't they? *G*

Note to self: Send burp cloth to Marge. *G*
