Day in the life

Please excuse the offending Grandmother blog story. (For those who find the Mom blogs offensive, I can imagine your reaction to a grandmother posting.)

My daughter with the new baby lives with me. She was very concerned before the baby was born that he would be confused about who his mother was. She shouldn't have worried. I as the grandmother am "The Burper" only.

A typical scene in my household. Mommy laying exhausted on the bed. Me, trying to be helpful before I leave for my day, changing baby. Mom issuing orders, "button his clothes this way, make sure he is not cold, clean his navel after you dress him through the little hole in the snaps" etc. Baby lying on bed looking up at the offending grandmother person, with an indignant look on his little face. He can tell by his Mom's tone of voice that the grandmother person is not doing things correctly.

Sigh.....All that experience. But I am very happy and content to be just the grandmother. I wouldn't have it any other way:).
