Being a Grandmother is Wonderful!

I am still basking in the wonder of being a Grandmother and my grandson who has captured my heart. All my friends told me what it would be like but I didn't grasp what it would be like until it actually happenned. It seems like just yesterday that my son was that age and he is almost 29 now! I wish I could see him everyday but I'll have to be content with seeing him every week at least.

I didn't plan on going to see them this weekend to let them get settled and bond in their home with each other. But I got a phone call Saturday morning suggesting that I visit. Seems like the baby did not give them a good night's rest and they were overwhelmed and tired and needed some motherly advice. So I went to their house for the morning and early afternoon and her mother and father showed up later to cook them supper. I think I helped. I do remember that feeling, as if someone had plucked me from my home and put me in the middle of China and I didn't speak the language and somehow I had to communicate with this little person who didn't understand me! It's quite a shock at first. But I know they'll be fine-they just have to go through this new parent's hazing ritual.

I was shaken awake this morning at 3:30 by another tree coming down and knocking out power in this tremendous storm we are having in the Northeast and I had trouble getting back to sleep. So as tired as I will be today I know there are two new parents that are much more tired than I am. But enough already with this weather! It seems we are to skip Spring altogether this year. It was snowing yesterday but at least it changed to rain. I think my feet are starting to get webbed!
