Becky has 3 kids now, 2 girls and a boy. They are hoping for another boy this time, but will be crazy about either gender. It will be a challenge for Becky with the babysitting situation. I may have to open a daycare! LOL! The new baby is due sometime in February.

Say a daycare seems like a great idea. How is your Becky doing? The time is getting nearer, well 6 months goes alot faster now then it use to or is that just when we grow older?

We were at a party on Sauturday and a friend announced she's pregnant with her fifth. We are friends with the grandmother and I thought for a minute we might have to apply CPR. What is Becky's babysitting situation? Anyone grandmothers in here watch their granchildren so the parents can work?

When my granddaughter asked how I could love ANOTHER (boy) grandchild, I told her that Grandma's have a special heart that gets just a little bit bigger with each grandchild. That way, my heart has a special place for each of them, always. Her reply: "Well, I guess that explains those boobs of yours, Grandma!" I watched my granddaughter while my DIL was finishing her masters degree, but since the birth, I've only watched grandkids for extended periods like when they went on a cruise or something. I find a week is about my limit. Funny, I don't remember getting old and set in my ways, but I sure do like my house QUIET!!!

Where does she get that sense of humor, or didn't she know she was being funny? oops... Oh, she KNOWS when she's being funny--only three-year-old I ever met capable of actual sarcasm. Love her to death, but she really is a fourteen-yr-old in a five-yr-old body, including the heavy sighs and rolling eyes. It's not just Grandma pride when I say she is gifted, but there's such a disparity between her intellectual and chronological/emotional ages. She get her brain power (and her wicked sense of humor) from a long line of "brilliance" in my family, and unfortunately, she gets her mouth from the combo of her grandma and her mom (men really do go out and marry their mothers, which is EXACTLY what my son did.) Oh well, like my pediatrician once told me about my own daughter: The very things that make her impossible as a child, will make her a brilliant and productive adult--ahem--if you just let her live!
