Another Granddaughter

Just to let everybody know I became a granddad for the fourth time at 00.03 this morning.
Isabelle just about came on the right date and she is 6lbs 9onzs.
My daughter and Isabelle are fine. Isabelle was obviously keen to start life.
One of the nurses does Bums and Tums and she said she knows me. How strange. grin
Isabelle seems to be trying to cross her legs a lot so we think she is trying to practice her grapevine.
My oldest granddaughter who is 6 went with Mum to a bums and tums class earlier this week as there was nobody to look after her at home.
She wants to join but they are not allowed to until they are 14 in Birmingham.
I am not sure of the reason why. We started Keep Fit at 11 at school which was very similar in a lot of respects and I have never heard of any problems with anybody except a that a few men are still doing bums and tums in their 50's and 60's as a result and the odd woman has objected.
Out of interest all my other granddaughters came at Bums and Tums class times which Mum normally attends.
Andie seems a little bit excited. He was the same when my other granddaughters were born. Dogs seem to pick things up somehow.
I will be visiting Isabelle later on and Andie will send her a woof.

Hi LullyDully

Thank you for pointing out the spelling.
I will check with my daughter Isabelle is what was intended.
I went to see Isabelle today and she looks beautiful.
She even gave me a little smile before falling back to sleep.
Andie definitely knows there is a new arrival.
I took him some chicken home as a treat which he normally grabs but he looked around first before eating it slowly still looking around.
Isabelle will hopefully be out of hospital tomorrow morning and we will show her to Andie obviously one person holding Andie and another holding Isabelle.
I don't think Andie would harm Isabelle. He has never bitten anybody but you must remember dogs are basically wolves although we almost think of Andie as another human.
To be honest if Andie got to Isabelle I think he would just lick her.
Frank

Congratulations Frank and a warm welcome to Isabelle. I look forward to hearing more about her (without any reference to houses, ex-partners, London pensions or Bums n Tums) Surely the miracle of birth puts these lesser preoccupations in their place!
