Popular Post Charlie E Posted June 1, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) About a year ago I made several planets, stars and rockets for my grandson's wall to match his bedding. He has recently become a huge Star Wars fan so I'm making some space ships from the movies and my son is secretly adding them to his wall one at a time. Here he is when he first saw the X Wing fighter. Last night they added the Bow Tie Fighter. I'm working on the Millennium Falcon. So much fun being a Pop!

Dak0ta52 Posted June 1, 2023 Report Share Posted June 1, 2023 Those pieces will be something he remembers for a lifetime, Charlie. When he is our age he will look back and remember what "Pop" made for him when he was a child. Richard's little rascal is a cutie! An up and coming little one to spoil.

So proud of the mas he's become but I do so miss the cheeky smiles like your grandsons. Time goes way to fast. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 This is my grandson's favorite that I cut for him but I have done quite a few others too. You will be finding things to cut all the time now. Marg Charlie E and heppnerguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told my wife, Connie, yesterday that while I know I'll miss my grandchildren being little when they grow up, like your Liam, at least I'll know we enjoyed every minute we could while they were little. I'm fortunate to live close to all of mine and see them almost daily. We're so blessed where it really counts. wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fortunate to live close to all of mine and see them almost daily. We're so blessed where it really counts. My grandson is 3 doors down from me! My daughter (and Son-in-law) bought the house a few years ago and got a really good deal before prices started to skyrocket. Nice only having two houses in-between! I get to see my grandson almost every day, and soon enough he'll be able to run to my house when I come home from work... Or by then I decide to retire. It's what I remember as a kid being close to my grandparents, at least until my father moved us hundreds of miles away heppnerguy and Charlie E 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many more things you'll be able to add too! Keep your grandkids curious! I find great joy in making stuff for my grandson. One day we'll do this together... I remember painting a clown with my grandfather, he was teaching me painting, I still have it 50+ years later.

heppnerguy Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 You sure know how to make your grandson one happy little camper. I love it when you realize what their interests are and you can then know what to make for them. I love his wall and obviously, so does he Dick heppnerguy Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
