...You are my sunshine......

or in Russian........ Solnihshka moy

Charlie came over tonight with Chris and Helen and Nanny Linda. Linda has finally got to spend some time with her grand daughter. She came up on the Sunday Charlie was born, but could only stay for a few hours......it's a long way from Devon. I bet she's been itching to get back and get her share of cuddles, so she's come to stay for a week.

We fed everyone tonight, steak and salad, strawberries and cream and we all sat around a coo'ed at Charlie. She was a bit fractious tonight and wouldn't settle, but neither would she take a bottle. The Boss had a go, the Daughter had a go,....eventually my turn came...."Do you want to try Dad?" asked the Son and Heir.. I took her , snuggled her up and she cried louder! So I got the bottle, and looking her right in the eye said, "O.K. kiddo, this is a one off deal, you want the bottle , or do you want to go home?" Mouth opened, bottle went in.........silence............five minutes later, bottle empty and as you can see Charlie fast asleep. You never lose it!!!!!

At least that's what I'm going to let them all believe..........Grandad has the magic touch!

Das vidanya moy padruga.
