To be shocked at how different my child is after an afternoon with Grandma?

Grandma took DD off for an afternoon of fun. dd is nearing three and pretty much potty trained (gentle reminders and using of loos as we pass them) however whilst with grandma has somehow had three changes of trousers due to accidents.

She is chatty and well behaved but has not stopped talking since she got home - at first I thought it was excitement but she just was like a duracell bunny!

She has been attempting to scale the couch numerous times and screaming at the slightest request to do anything. Clearly she is shattered but my god!! are everyones kids like this after a trip with a grandparent? I cannot believe the difference in her today.

my grandkids have just left after a 4 hour visit..... and they are on a high that will surely be irritating all day Grin

we did:

bouncing on the bed
running round the garden
bum-bumping down the stairs
sock surfing on the wood floor
a fizzy pop drinking contest (I lost)

haters gonna hate.....

You sound fabulous wink. Can I send you mine for the day?

It's not the sugar in coke that makes children go loopy / adults feel odd, it's the caffeine!

Yep, and I allowed the youngest to pull off her leggings & socks & run around (well, crawl) in her nappy.

Grand-dad made hotdogs for lunch, then had a cherry-stone-spitting contest with DGS Smile. Grin
