Grandma Love!!

Dearer than our children are the children of our children.

                                           - Egyptian proverb

It is so hard to believe that I have added another grandbaby to my brood.  So here's a list of all of my grandbabies in order of age:

• Jacob  (age 5)
• Ella   (age 5)
• Lucy   (age 5)
• Jaxson  (5 on Wednesday! - Happy Birthday Jaxson)
• Jerrin   (age 4)
• Amelie  (4 next month)
• Mason  (age 3)
• Morrison  (3 next month)
• Landon   (NEW! 10 days old tomorrow!)

And we have another one due in late Spring!!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a grandmother.  I never thought that grandmotherhood would arrive as early as it has .... but here I am with nearly TEN grandchildren.

And so I dedicate this poem by Jack Prelutsky to all the grandmother's of the world (and believe me I've felt this way before with all these grandchildren under 6 years old!):

Hurry Grandma hurry,

Grandma look at me,

I'm right side up, I'm upside down,

I'm swinging from a tree.

I'm jumping like a squirrel,

I think that I can fly -

Grandma please don't worry,

Grandma please don't cry.

Hurry Grandma hurry,

see what I can do,

I'm roller-skating backwards

across the avenue.

Here's a luscious little bug,

I think I'll take a bite -

Grandma stop your screaming,

everything's all right.

Hurry Grandma hurry,

Grandma watch me please,

I'm climbing up a ladder,

I'm dangling by my knees.

I found this giant spider

that was stuck in globs of paint,

Grandma take a closer look -

whatever made you faint?
