Very proud of my bachelor son. With no previous experience of small children, he has for the last year taken on baby sitting duties with 3 year old twin boys. They are the sons of a good friend of his, a single mother who has raised two adorable little boys. Mark helps out so the twin's mother can do extra work without having to pay for a baby sitter.
We sometimes have the boys up here for a Sunday and they love coming to the "farm" - and we love having them. Mark is amazing with them - so patient, caring and capable. He would have made a wonderful father.
Here we are having fun on the farm

The morning after the sleepover - WRECKED!!! |
Our grand daughters live in Sydney so we've always missed out on a lot of growing up. These little guys are doing a great job of filling in a few of the gaps.

They are lovely looking children and it is wonderful what your son is doing for their mother. He seems to be a 'natural' at looking after them and having fun
ReplyDeleteYour son and the boys seem to really enjoy each other's company.
