In the last 5 years, my husband and I became grandparents. Wow! We now have 4 grandchildren, 3 girls and 1 boy. They add so much joy to our lives.
I never dreamed anything would be better than being a mom, but being a grandma is so wonderful. I love having my grandkids over to the house, and like to play with them. It's like my third childhood. There is nothing better than hearing the laughter of children playing in the house. nothing better than getting kisses and hugs, and hearing them say; "Grandma, I love you." I decided to blog some of the fun things we do.
Last week-end my two granddaughters came over for a sleep over. They enjoyed playing with dolls I had stored in the basement, that belonged to my youngest daughter, who is now 25. Yes, I am a pack rat. I just couldn't part with some of my kids toys, some of their clothes, and any of the memories we had. My grandchildren loved playing with the babies, and often fought over a couple of them. There must have been 12 or more dolls to chose from, but the two girls wanted the same doll. This is when grandma explains how important it is to share. They seemed to catch on and before long where playing together.
I have many memories of playing at my own grandmother's house. I hope my grandchildren will grow and remember some of the things they learned at grandmas' house.
