Jacob has just gone home after an overnight visit. Wow! Being a grandparent is like being a parent all over again. Only different.
When my daughter was born I read voraciously to prepare for her arrival. This time I thought I didn't need to. WRONG! Everything has changed. And the stuff that hasn't changed I have forgotten.
Cloth diapers have changed. That's okay. I forgot how to change them anyway.
The soaps we used to wash the baby in? Gone.
The soaps we used to wash the baby's clothes in? Replaced.
Babies make you late anytime you want to go anywhere. I forgot.
Babies constantly need something. They need to eat, they need to be changed, they need to be held, then they need to eat again, then changed......in an endless cycle. I forgot.
Grandbabies are totally cool and can do no wrong. I never knew.
