I couldn't add any more Imagines to my other Child preferences so I decided to make another book!
Also once again credit for the book title and header goes to @Ritsalfigeneia
"Your mum just text me saying she's in the taxi and she's 5 minutes away" y/n told me. I nodded and smiled at her. Ethan came running down the stairs. "Daddy! Help me put my shoes on!" Ethan , my 5 year old son, yelled.
He sat next to me on the sofa and I put his shoes on his feet. I tied the laces for him and y/n entered the room holding our 11 month old daughter, Aaliyah.
The doorbell ring. I stood up and answered it, I was met with my mums smiling face. I hugged her and invited her in.
"Is it cold?" I asked as we enter red the living room where y/n and the kids are. "A little, so I'd bring your coats" she said. She walked over and hugged y/n, being careful of Aaliyah in her arms. "Dadda" Aaliyah muttered as I was putting Ethan's coat on him. "Dadda!" She repeated. "1 minute princess" I said in a baby voice as I put my coat on. I took her from y/n, who had already put a coat on her and her shoes. I placed Aaliyah in her pram and strapped her in.

(Aaliyah's pram ^^^)
We left the house and began to walks down the street. I was pushing the pram, my mum was next to me and Ethan was next to her holding her hand.
It had been 2 months since I saw my mum last. "So what words can she say now?" My mum asked. "She can't say much but she can say some words which is good anyway, she can say mumma,dadda, food,me, and Eth, which is what she calls Ethan" I told her. "It's good that she can say all that though, most don't start talking until their past 1, she's just turned 11 months" My mum said and I nodded. "Ethan was early, he was , well it was a week before his first birthday when he said his first word" I said and she nodded. "It was at the family reunion and he just suddenly blurted out the word 'nandos'" my mum laughed and I did too.
"What was her first word? You never said what it was" my mum asked. "It was dadda" I told her.
"Can she walk yet or does she still just crawl everywhere?" She asked. "She can't sit still that's for sure, there's baby gates everywhere in the house because she keeps crawling everywhere. She can't walk on her own but she stands up against the sofa or your legs and we walk around with her slowly so we would hold her hands" I explained and she nodded. "That's what I did with you and Greg. Your dad and I held your hands and walked along with you" she said. "We did it with Ethan too but he mainly used his pram. He'd just stand up hold onto his pram and push it" I chuckled.

"Why don't we go to that little cafe?" I suggested and my mum agreed. "Daddy? Can I play on your phone in the cafe?" Ethan asked. "Sure, and when we get home I'll help you to read again" I told him and he nodded still holding my mums hand. "Are you teaching him to read?" She asked and I nodded. "Well he's been able to read for the past year but we help him very day to make sure he doesn't make mistakes and things" I told her.
I got a high chair for our table in the cafe and put it at the end of our table. I placed Aaliyah in it and fastened her in. Our table was next to the window so Aaliyah was facing the window. Ethan sat on one side next to the window and I sat next to him and my mum sat opposite us.

After we had finished eaten I took out my wallet. "Here's the money for my order" my mum said holding out the money . I shook my head refusing the money. "I'm paying, you don't need to" I told her. "I'm not even going to try and argue with you on that one" she chuckled. I paid for our meal and we left the cafe.
We walked my mum home. I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Bye mum, see you soon, I love you" I told her and she smiled. "I love you too Nialler" she said kissing my cheek.
She bent down to Ethan's height and hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Bye bye grandma, love you" he said. " I Love you too E" she said standing up.
She bent down in front of Aaliyah's pram. She kissed Aaliyah's cheek. "Bye bye Aaliyah, I love you!" She said in a baby voice waving her hand. Aaliyah smiled and waved. She always smiled when someone says 'I love you' to her. "Ama!" She said meaning grandma and I smiled as well as my mum.

We arrived home. Ethan entered the house first , me following with the pram.
