I never understood when people said that being a grandparent was the best thing EVER!!!
I loved being a mom. It was so fun and challenging and right up my alley. But yes, I was probably a little stressed out about the whole thing. You are always thinking in the back of your mind..... am i doing the right thing? (please dear God let this child grow up normal)
Well ~ here she is. My first born~ 30 years old~ and a mommy~ the best mommy ever!
And here is child # 2. We are two of a kind crazy people. WE love hanging out and joking around.
People don't get it I'm sure. But ever since he was a kid, we've enjoyed each other's weirdness :)
Then came David. :) Then David came for a visit, and I could hardly contain myself. Get the crib and let the hugging begin. Such a little tease he is. He is interactive and such a joy. It's like seeing life from a different perspective. Maybe that's how God views us~ (He just doesn't see who we are, but what we can BE!)
I want him to be loved and happy and yes, perfect.
I want to enjoy every facial expression and every sound that comes out from his mouth.
I could just stare for hours at how he soaks up the huge universe with those little eyes and inquisitive hands.
Even when he sleeps, I think he is dreaming about how he can be an even cuter baby, just for grammy.
Yes, I ADORE my daughter's perfect child. While she does the nurturing and raising and "hard work";
I get to enjoy the squishy baby and the joy he brings me.
(if I lived any closer, I would probably move in)
So yes, this is therapy for me. To write it out and just say it as plain as can be: I LOve Him.
