Little Susie's story of baby brother Jacob

Little Susie with her baby brother Jacob

by Susan Palmes-Dennis

My little granddaughter Susie is now a big sister and she is excited about it based on her account to me which I will relay to you as accurately as possible.

First some background. Her baby brother Jacob Frederick Boddison was born on June 1 at 7 am and weighed six pounds at birth. 

Jacob has loads of black hair with long legs and was born when the sun was quite shy but there was no rain at Telford, United Kingdom.

Little Susie aka “Tating” is a sixth grader at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School which to her mother is ideal as she was also schooled at St. Mary's Academy in Tagoloan town, Misamis Oriental province that is also run by Catholic nuns. 

Susie's favorite pastime is reading and watching Korean dramas on her tablet and her favorite book is Holes by Louis Sachar. 

She loves cats and when asked why, Susie said “they're cute.” She missed the cats she left behind at home in Tagoloan town in Misamis Oriental province in northern Mindanao, Philippines. 

I tell you that Susie considers her cats as family and their numbers are still multiplying at the hands of her Nanay Honey Mejorada.

When Susie was four years old and she stayed with me at Melecia Homes, Cagayan de Oro City she eats with the dogs and one time I saw her sharing food with our dog named Blackie.

Anyway, Susie will be my guest blogger for the day and I will let her tell you her story of her baby brother in her words:

“Hi, I’m Susane Palmes, aged 11  years old. As some of you know I am the granddaughter of blogger Susan Palmes-Dennis. I am named after her and she asked me to blog about my newborn baby brother Jacob Frederick.

Although I am not a good writer but I would do my best to write. So before we move on,  I’m going to introduce myself first a little bit more.” 

“I came from a very warm country, Philippines and I am pure Filipino just like my grandma, whom I also call Lola Susan. However, I had to fly abroad to where my mother is and join her. 

So I moved to the United Kingdom on May 2016 and met my step-dad Simon and his two kids Louis and Fah. Last December my parents unexpectedly announced they were going to have a baby.

To be honest I didn’t feel too excited until the big day arrived. Oh my, after seeing my new baby brother I instantly fell in love with him. He was the cutest of all the babies. 

Now I want to hold Jacob in my hands, he is too cute and handsome. That is all for now but I will give you updates on my baby brother Jacob.
