I am going to say the... G word... and then I am going to gush about it!!! I have a new friend who has just been inducted to the Grandmother club. It is a wonderful club full of exciting moments. At first, you can't believe you are old enough. At the time, you find out you check yourself in the mirror in your jeans and say, "Yep I can still rock these." ( Hint:Moving quickly and not in a full-length mirror.) Months later you have the precious moment when you see your grand daughter or grandson. I was lucky enough to be with my daughter when, Chae was born, and it was a moment that I will always cherish. Even better as your grandchild grows, and you can create special  moments that you cannot do when you are a parent. Take a midnight walk and steal corn and let her think it is a magic adventure. Yep as a Grandmother you can do that. Make toast in the morning of pure butter and sugar. This  is all legal in the grandmother Bible. Being a grandmother gives you the ability to act like a child and make memories you can't with your children. There is no rule to be strict, and you can be the star in their eyes always!  No is for parents we say yes, and we embellish it when we say it. It is a fairy tale land of stories and fun and re-living your childhood. The best part is you can have all this fun filling them up with sugar and  then send them home. (Side note- sugar filled or not sending home is never easy) I celebrate the grandmothers I know. And the newest member to be welcome to the club... it is awesome!!!
