To all who venture to read this journal, be forewarned that I adore my grandchildren and many of the entries on here will be laced with Gwamma's bragging! (I prefer to think that I am an objective observer in their lives, but [alas!] it is not so!)
I have never been much of a "baby" person. I had a baby brother once, but wasn't at the stage of life to feel very maternal about him (I was, maybe, 5 when he was born.) I adored my own baby, of course, but there is something about motherhood that creates so much work that one scarcely has time to really sit back and enjoy each moment. Most of it consists of exhaustion and trying to get through each day with the least amount of damage.. Then came grandchildren! Who'd a-thunk that I would be so crazy about those babies?! For that reason, I feel so selfish that I can dote on my grandchildren while their mother goes quietly nuts with the chaos!
Still, I can't help but think that Meg and Nate take some satisfaction in knowing that their babies are so loved by both (uh...three?) sets of grandparents.. And because of them, I also appreciate my great-grandnephews, Nicky and Tyler Watts.. What a cute lot they all are! I would love to have a group picture of the baby cousins on MY side of the family!
I leave you with little Ryan's last words to me on Saturday: "I wuzz you!"
