To clap my hands and skip about in a elephantine manner?

[DisgraceToTheYChromosome]

I'm going to be a grandfather! Woo hoo! They haven't tuppence to rub together, so there'll be 3 generations under one roof. Still, DD is doing well after the throwing stopped, he's working all the hours God sends, and with luck I shall see New Person into their teens, as opposed to my DF who got less than 7 years of DGF hood. Wish us luck.

[LilaBard]

Congratulations! The way you describe him is so joyful, brought such a smile to my face. You sound like you will be a wonderful Grandad!

[hellokitsy]

What a lovely thread!! A very lucky little baby indeed to be born into so much love.

[DisgraceToTheYChromosome]

Those of you who suggested my job is to spoil him: his dad told me that on his 11th his DGM gave him a bacon sandwich buttered with Nutella for breakfast. I have tried this, and OH MY GOD.
Obviously this is something for the future. Meanwhile, here's the young gentleman experimenting with his eyelids.

Later, there will be sandcastles to build, raspberry blowing contests, and pointing at stuff with sticks found in hedges. Can't wait

This made me tear up, he's a lucky wee boy! (I had a grandad who did this stuff and it was ace!)

[2017SoFarSoGood]

Disgrace you may be the best representation of your chromosome. I am in tears (and a huge smile) on the bus, and my fellow commuters must think I've gone mad.

What happiness that beautiful new human has in store. How lucky to have you for his grandad.

You must do magic tricks with a pack of tiny cards. 😍

[dontcallmelen]

Awww many many congratulations, you will have so much fun.
Our dgd was born eighteen months ago & never knew I had such capacity for love, she brings so much joy & our garden & house has been overtaken with toys/books/ slides etc.
Enjoy the newborn snuggles 💐

What a beautiful baby , hope all are doing well. My dad has four grandchildren, he is a great dad, he's a bloody brilliant granda. He adores all four of the girls and they all love him very much, there has been the odd eye roll and muttering about what radio stations are tuned in his car, he has yet to appreciate the genius of Bruno Mars according to my 9 year old! Don't forget the empty paper bag and finger clicking trick.

[OohLookASquirrel]

Awwww!!! Congratulations!!
