I think my body is coming down off of the emotional high now that we’re all back under the same roof, lol. I slept like the dead last night. I did still wake up a few times when I heard Tori, lol. I guess that mommy radar never really turns off once it’s activated, lol. Ashley had her though… of course. I never doubted her ability for even a second. She’s already shown herself to be a great mom. She’s on top of things. And her and Victoria are already bonded and in-tune to each other.
Next to being a mom…being a grandma is the coolest thing EVAH!! I love holding and cuddling with her. She’s so beautiful. And just so we’re clear… I am not biased at all… She really is the most beautiful baby of 2008. Everyone agrees, lolol (Ok ok, so maybe I am bit full of myself, lol… but can you blame me?)
I was lying in bed last night and thinking about how quickly life moves. I have a hard time accepting that my kids are 18, 15, 14, and almost 5 years old. Sometimes It seems like a joke. Especially with Drew. I mean how can he be almost 5 already??!! Surely I am delusional… right? He’s really still 6 months old and sleeping in his crib, right?? It’s then that reality hits and brings me back and I see that he is almost 5. And my girls are older. And now I am a grandma too!
Sometimes I really wish I could go back to simpler times with the kids. Back to when the biggest problem and challenge in their life was diaper rash, a skinned knee, or not wanting to go to bed for school the next day. The issues of a teenager are sometimes more then I want to deal with. I miss the days of simpler things.
Ahhh I am going to enjoy this time with Victoria… and the rest of the my kids… because time goes by too fast.
My FIL says that being a grandparent is one of the few things in life that isn’t overrated. Congratulations!
