Understandably, I was advised to avoid picking up or holding Greg for the first few days after my oral surgery. He could potentially hit me in the face and cause serious issues with the surgical site. Greg was struggling with this fact and it was hard to explain it to him.

"Slides are fun either way!"

"Gran's lap is more comfortable than that highchair."
