grand children

Be My Valentine?

Our two year old grand daughter gets to see her three male cousins about twice a year. The little guy does not pose much of a problem for the grand daughter, nor, do the two older boys. The two older grandsons have a lot of energy, but the little lady is quite able to make her will be known. She is quietly, very firm minded--even stubbornly so. I just love to watch the four play and interact. Their grandmas, all of their grandmas, spoil them rotten. (Of course, the grandpas stay above the fray and attempt to keep the spoilage to a minimum) Grandma J's favorite adage is "Children cannot be spoiled with love." Haha. Well, we get to spoil them and send them home for melt down. From what I hear going back to the "real world" can be somewhat brutal. Brutal to their parents, anyway. Being grandparents is a pretty good gig. Of, course our children never had any melt downs when they lived at home. Har, har, hardy, har, har!!

We belicve that all grand children have a natural unalienable right to be spoiled by grandparents. I'm sure Locke said so some where in one of his essays and no doubt was in Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence. It would be just like Ben Franklin to have that part dumped prior to the penning of the final draft.

Good news is that the little lady will be joined by an ally in October. As of this time, we don't know the sex of that ally, but I am sure she/he will be well trained in inter-family play strategies and tactics by big sister.

Yeeeoooowwww!
