GeedubyaGrandson's Nursery
This is my first grandson. He is the joy of of an old mans life.
This use to be my "game room". Now it is his nursery when we keep him.
I get a kick out of putting him down for a nap. We go to each animal and I ask him what they say, then he tells them nite nite before I put him down for a nap.
Trying to do my part to raise him right.

JAGood looking young man but you are going to ruin him for life. He is going to grow up thinking about nothing but hunting. While other kids are learning read Jack and Jill your grandson will be reading Cabelas catalogs and Jack O'Connor stories.

DTalaI thought I was the only one that did that
My grandson Dylan stays with us three to four days a week. He has his own bedroom, with a tarpon, 10 point whitetail, and two mounted turkeys. I told him last year(age 3) that I didn't have ANYTHING hanging on my bedroom walls....he replied"thats so sad Pop Pop"..
doing my best to "ruin" him....

See - it's grandparents like you guys that make 30-something parents like me pull our [in my case, non-existent] hair out. My dad shows up, virtually unannounced, and buys my 3 year old daughter a new bike. No special occasion. He just buys her her first bike. How am I to ever keep this child from getting spoiled to pieces when I have to hear, "Pop-Pop bought me a bike," as I sit there shaking my head?
Nah, I'm just ribbing ya. You've put in your time as parents, so I guess it's only fair that you get to put the little ones up in rooms with more nice taxidermy than I may ever own (and buy them bikes). Congrats to you both on raising the grandkids right.

HuviusIMO, it is great to have natural decor in a child's environment. It really advances a child's inclination toward learning of the wild and exotic things in our world.
My youngest daughter's first word was KUDU! Man, I love that!
Our kids have friends over and they cannot believe that we have heads in our dining room. To our kids, that's just part of normal life.

DTalaHuvius, the day my grandson was born I held him and asked him if he wanted a recurve or a longbow....he murmured a perfect "longbow" much to everyones surprise..........cept me of course, I'm a longbow shooter!!!

smarterthanuHowdy,
Look at the head on that boy. He looks like about 20 lbs of bad news
He's gonna be a tough one.
Make sure that tv stand can't tip forward. Lots of toddlers get squashed every year by those.
Your a blessed man. I hope I am lucky enough to spoil some grandchildren one day.

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

john.d.mGreat story.
took my youngster into the local gun shop few weeks ago,(he will be 3 in dec) they got few trophies on the walls, I asked him,, whats that Samuel? his reply made me smile, thats a Cape Buffalo daddy..... a small one
I got the same reply when I asked him what the Kudu was..
The shop assistant looked a bit agrieved,I think they were his trophies
He loves stroking the Buffalo and Kudu on the wall at home.
I`am quite proud that he can name alot of animals, African and New Zealand ones, he likes his digger books too, not the kiddies ones but the construction industry news ones.
He def isn`t sat infront of the T.V all day,he likes reading and asking questions.

Good on ya'.
My grandson was nineteen months on the 10th. Evidently, according to his Dad, (my oldest son) he loves to watch a program on TV called Top Shot.
I don't watch much TV, so I've never seen the program.
He has recently acquired a squirt bottle. He now walks around pointing his "squirt gun" at all the mounts, making a sound like he his shooting them. When I get home in the afternoon, the first thing he does when I come in is to grab my finger and point and exclaim "side". He loves the outdoors. We'll go outside and watch the birds and critters. Tonite we had a flock of geese come over real low. He pointed and started exclaiming bye-bye.
I think I may have a hunter on my hands.
I was blessed in that I had a grandpa that took me in hand when I was around six and began teaching me how to whittle, build campfires, twist rabbits out of a hole with a forked sticks, hunt frogs at night etc.
Hopefully, I'll be able to pass it on.
Best

K20350Our dogs name is daisy. So my little man calls anything resembling a dog "Daisy". We went to Cabelas and when he saw a full mounted moose his eyes got huge and he pointed and started yelling
"DAISY DAISY DAISY" at the top of his lungs. It was the cutest thing.
