The ones I had, had about half of the bottle in white and half clear (what a good dolly, drinking her milk up! lol). Such a good idea to get children's toys from a boot sale, as the children will be "into" something different next year. As a couple of ladies have said, the children will remember the times spent with their grandparents.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />Carol<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-1439990240852448122018-03-29T13:14:21.373+01:002018-03-29T13:14:21.373+01:00I had little trouble saying no to my children but ...I had little trouble saying no to my children but I am butter in the hands of my grandchildren.

The time when they are young is very precious. They grow up quickly and are off on other ventures. Ours are off on their own pursuits mostly now but still love remembering the times they shared with us. Being grandparents is a great privilege.
