Grandmothering

I absolutely adore my one-year-old grandson! He is so sweet. He is amazing to me.

When my grandson and his parents came over, I greeted them at the door. I looked at each member of this family, and when my gs and I connected, a great big smile appeared on his face along with his happily waiving hands. It warmed me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

What really made my heart take flight and soar was when my gs came up very close to me and we hugged. He apparently came to me for a little comfort and love. Again, that night he came over and sat down on my lap when I was sitting on the floor. I love him so much!

My gs's father, my son, was a very loving and affectionate baby and young child to me. He loved being held! He loved to touch the skin on my face! He loved having his back rubbed to soothe him to sleep. As a young child, he also loved my singing to him or reading stories to him. He was a fun and easy child to raise.
