It’s really nice to be able to hand JMP back to his mom when he’s tired or hungry. Really, really nice — because then I can take a nap. Or sit down and write a blog post about how nice it is to hand him back to his mom.
It’s also nice to be able to watch his bath time rather than to be the one on her knees on the bathroom floor, bent over the tub, giving the bath. My back and knees hurt just watching Jenn do it.
Also, JMP is HEAVY. I’d be in shape again if I had to tote is 20lb chunky, cute self around all of the time. As it is, my right shoulder is kind of groaning. When I said yesterday that I couldn’t believe how heavy he was, TW rolled her eyes and said he wasn’t… she’s changed her mind because her shoulder is feeling a twinge, too.
It’s awesome to be able to just play with him or watch others play with him and take photos and leave all of the real work to his mom. This grandmother gig is freaking awesome.
I love it. And I love JMP, tons.
I’ve decided that I want to skip being a mom and go straight to grandma. Can I do that?
That baby is just crazy cute. I’m so glad that you guys are having a great visit.
Same thing with being an Aunt – you can return the baby when you want too.
JMP is so stinking cute!
I know exactly how you feel! We weren’t (women) constructed (or is it deconstructed) at age 40 and up (although you are 26 right?) to be able to be full time baby mommas! Although I must admit, if I am having a shitty fibro day, all my pains get pushed away and forgotten as soon as I lay my eyes on the grandtoddlers. 🙂 I am really enjoying your photos!
I get it…I get it. But I have to say…that boy is so sweet and adorable, it makes any ache or pain well worth it. You guys have only been gone for a short time, but honestly, I miss holding him already. What a beautiful little guy. Thanks so much for bringing him over Denise….it made my day. ~Joy
