Re: You Know You're a grandparent when..

When you still know the words to the Teletubbies song, Power Rangers etc,etc. Grandkids are 12 to 26, boy do I wish they were still little. Heart

There is nothing more heart-warming than grandchildren and we are blessed to have ours so close by.  I cannot add more to that except for this:

When a toddler comes racing to you crying and arms outstretched to be SAVED from the "wicked parent" running behind them.  This parent is intent on naptime, bedtime, or teeth brushing or some other such torture.  I do love being the hero to my two.

Re: You Know You're a grandparent when..

My grandchildren are grown now. When they were young was one of the best times in my life. With the boys it was sports and hiking in the woods. The girls liked arts and crafts. I did too. I loved being a grandmother. Thankfully I was young enough especially with the boys. If I could go back for just one day!

Re: You Know You're a grandparent when..

I've been fortunate to retire early at 50 and get to watch my 2 yr old grandson 3 days a week. I got so much joy and laughs from him and now, 12 yrs later we are very close and now I'm watching my youngest 3 yr old grandson. 
Movies, crafts, hikes, shopping, video games, board games, etc....

Again, we are very close.

Their other grandparents are not very hands on, kid friendly, I hope I'm making lasting happy memories with them. 
I have very happy memories with my very present grandparents.
