My Grandchildren

I currently have two precious granddaughters.  Presley who is 3 (going on 13) and Madi who is 5 months.

These girls are fascinating!  I became a “bonus mom” when I married my husband and up until then my “children” had always had four legs and went “Meow” or “Bow Wow.”   I never experience raising a baby or really being around young children. So being able to share in the birth and growth of these two little ones...wow.... believe me when I tell you that I have been in awe of these two little girls since the day of their birth.

Watching them discover the world, getting teeth, learning to roll over, crawl, walk….all just amazing.  And while this may not be amazing to everyone….it is to me. 

When I found out I was going to be a ‘Nonna”, folks often told me “being a grandparent is the best thing in the world”—these folks were not wrong.  My heart explodes when Presley runs to me, arms outstretched or ask for me to hold her.  When she sings to her baby sister “Love me Tender”, get me a Kleenex! 

Presley's vocabulary is impressive.  She is so smart and I'm sure her sister will be as well.  These two make you smile and laugh at every turn.

I often think about their future, all grown up and on their own.  I know that I will not be around for all their days  but it is a great motivation to stay healthy so I can be a part of as many days as possible:  school, sports, graduations, love. 

If you are a grandparent, I am certain you share my thoughts and if you are soon to be one—get ready because it IS the best thing in the world!!
