We just spent 6 days with our grandkids in our home while their Mommy and Dada spent a few days in New York....
We had so much fun! I just love being a Grandma! I am Yaya and Harold is Pop! Emma ran around the house dancing and humming...she just loves music. We sang alot...I would start a song and then ask her to sing with me she would begin humming the song...I think she will be a great singer one day!
I laughed so much with Sam! He has such a great sense of humor...we would be watching tv and he would look at me and begin raising his eyebrows up and down and the face he made was so funny I laughed so hard each time so of course he kept doing it off and on through out the week.
I look around me and I see lots of grand parents and I wonder if they enjoy their little ones just as much as we do...
Yes we were exhausted but I would not miss the time with them for anything or anyone! I want my grandkids to really know who we are...really count on us for everything.
If you are a grand parent this is the time to enjoy their lives...when they are little and growing up. If you don't spend time with them they wont spend time with you when they are older. I look at a friend of mine that is a grandmother...she has two grand kids one boy about 8 and a girl about 12 or 13 I think. They look to have a great relationship. They love their Nona! Even at this age I can see they spend lots of time with her and their relationship shows...its a good one. I'm sure Nona spent lots of time with them when they were little. It shows!
I cannot imagine going a week without seeing my grandkids...especially when they live just 20 minutes away. It must be very difficult for those that live far apart from each other. My heart is so full....I thank the Lord each day that he gave us such incredible gifts. I can't wait for more....
As they left and headed back home....I cried on my way to work yesterday morning....I was having a huge separation withdrawal.
I'm glad their mommy is home....they missed her lots....Dada will be home today and I'm sure their little secure world will be complete. My cup runneth over....
