The woes of being a gradma

[noadvertising]

Oh dear, for the next time we will have Cassian with us three days a week. His mama has to do some illustration for a children's book, deadline end of June. Until now she must not have been very productive, that's why hubby will pick the young one up in the morning and bring him back in the afternoon, so that mum will be able to work without getting interrupted all the time. Hubby is ecstatic, me not so. Today was day one of the siege, as I call it. Everything is well so far. Cassian has played, has slept, has eaten. Now grandpa and grandchild are doing another round in the garden, looking for Hannelore. Apparently this time she has really managed to escape. When crawling under the bushes we found the gap she must have used for her escape route, but too late now, she is already up and away, no sign of the turtle this time. I hope she makes it to the little pond a bit farther down. Without water she won't be able to survive!
So if I won't post as often as usual during June, please bear with me. I have not fallen off the face of the planet, I've moved into my new cosy room in the insane asylum instead!

As long as the walls are padded. *g*
But seriously, I wish you lots and lots of strength. I presume you'll need it. I don't know how Heidi (Little Emma's grandmother) manages living with two grandchildren under the same roof. Whenever I call her, at least one of the kids (usually Emma, as Theo goes to kindergarten) is around... and you can hear her, even from the other side of the room. Has a good pair of lungs, that one.

Ha, chasing after a toddler is not for the faint of heart! Their energy is never ending.

And woo, another children's book illustrator! What kind of books does she do?
