My Granddaughter Cooked Lunch

That was a few weeks ago when Dearra had friends over. Usual rule, if you're having friends over, clean up. She went way over and above, bathrooms, litter boxes, etc.

That's so nice her mother's family was nice to you and the twins.. unlike the twins mother's family! Almost everyday I see how much my kids are growing up, and it's sad. Yesterday I brought my kids to visit a friend of mine and her kids. Her son is 8, and my 6 year old was just about the same height as him. My 6 year old is a tall boy!

Oh yeah, even with the adults ones I see how they have matured over a short period of time. My 10 y/o also surprises me with some wise words, but at 10, I guess they go back and forth, because the next thing he does is something so totally opposite and immature..

Yes, I have. When my granddaughter and I had to move out for a period of time afew years back. She helped me alot. Did the meals and cleaned. She ran errands and was so kind. She like to cook and clean for some reason. She is a good hearted young lady.

thats so neat. A few days ago my son made me breakfast here. its so sweat when they do those things for us.

multitasking, smart,talented, and she's only 12. we really do live in a fast-paced world. they pick up on things so fast and they're not afraid to learn on their own. I traipsed over there with twins in tow. i could visualize the three of you skipping, laughing and singing on the way there, blue skies, mild breeze and all.

Aw, that's sweet.

Yes! The youngest is growing up so fast. I talked to her dad last night and when he picked her up for his week she had made supper. Some sort of green bean casserole...wonder whose idea that was.....her's or her mother. I am thinking my ex DIL is having regrets!

Wow! What a lovely young woman she has grown into! It must make you proud and happy to have such a mature granddaughter. I hope one day my grandchildren are like that. She really will be a multitalented woman when she grows up - sure to be a success! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

wow cynthiann that sounds like a lovely little girl and so grown up already too.i am glad you and her get along so well and that you have a lovely time there too. She is very accomplished for a 12 year old but todays kids are so far ahead of kids of a generation back., I used to work in the library and on my day off I stopped in to use one of the computers and got myself in a mess as it was different from mine at home,.this kid about ten came over. 'Can I help" he asked and I nodded. He did this and that and in ten minutes he had me all untangled and ready to post. I asked him how old he was and his grand his grandmother came up and told me" hes just six but hes a gifted child": and i had to agree there. very gifted indeed.After that I often met up with the little boy and his grandmother. I always wondered why he was with her .and one day she told me his parents had been killed in a head on collision on the freeway with a driver going the wrong wahy who plowed into their car.She told me he was only one and was crying when the ambulance people got to his parents and him, He was not hurt but his parents were both killed.

Sounds like u have a mighty smart young lady. I know u are proud of her. These grands make our life worth living. They sure do grow up in a hurry tho. Bet the twins enjoyed themselves to. Glad y'all could all be together. Take care of yourself. love ya!

wow at 12 yrs old? thats fantastic. sounds like she can do nearly everything. hope she gets a man thats really good to her and appreciates all she is becoming. or even not and have a great career instead not sure i would think anyone would be good enough for a lady that talented. WOW!

I'm with my daughter every single day so this isn't something that I've noticed with her overnight. However, she is only ten years old and I see her doing and saying things that are so very mature and it just impresses me. I know that the day will come (and it isn't too far down the line) that she really is going to all of a sudden go from being a girl to being a young lady. I also have to say that the thought of it scares me a little bit.

I'm still waiting for that moment! I have a 12 year old, and I can't see him being matured enough. Maybe it's because he's the oldest (when they get together with his younger brother, their 10 year old cousin, and 10 year old neighbor). Maybe he's being pulled back down. I know I was definitely matured enough when I was 12. Maybe not the fixing-pc type, but definitely matured in terms of girl-hunting type!
