I love to see there eyes light up when they see each other. <br />My Dad stayed the first week with us when I had my first born. I think they bonded for life that week. Then my Mom stayed with us when my second was born and they also bonded that week for life. GRANDPARENTS ARE AWESOME.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862155080331810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-28922178653557545102009-12-29T10:16:22.319-08:002009-12-29T10:16:22.319-08:00I'm in!

They are all about the overnight time with Baby, and I can't wait to watch those relationships grow.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778738125321483117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-90017921180064691332009-12-29T09:20:48.952-08:002009-12-29T09:20:48.952-08:00I wish our parents we close, but they are over 300...I wish our parents we close, but they are over 300 miles away. But when we visit, Little B gets a lot of time with them. We never say no to going out or getting a lil more sleep in the morning. It's so nice. Hubby and I both work from home, so we make it a point to get out of the house to lunch once a week, and we also have a great sitter, so we get out a couple times a month for date night. I've yet to spend a complete night away from her, but man am I looking forward to that day! I was never close to my grandparents (both papa's passed in 1992), but I want B to know how loved she is by the one's she still has.Diet DP Loving Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04618653131768572315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-79669956567740517632009-12-29T06:59:56.185-08:002009-12-29T06:59:56.185-08:00Know that you are very blessed to have them so clo...Know that you are very blessed to have them so close... I would LOVE for my kids to see their grandparetns just once every two months at this point! <br /><br />And date nights, we get them every few months at best!Smits Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010762622272217898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302096474119021505.post-23416785196631342052009-12-28T20:53:12.317-08:002009-12-28T20:53:12.317-08:00I feel the exact same way. Levi has been staying ...I feel the exact same way. Levi has been staying the night with his grandparents by himself since he was a wee one! Actually, his first time, he was one month old! It is not as frequent as once a week, but he has had several nights away from us. In fact, mom and dad just kept him last night and brought him back up tonight! It was perfect because I got to get all of my Christmas stuff down without any interruption. I think that not only is it important for them to be away from us now and then (I never want Levi to be a kid that freaks out because I'm not there), but for US to be away from THEM. It gives us a chance to miss them and appreciate them even more when they're back in our arms! :) I'm just extremely grateful for grandparents who relish in keeping my baby!Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856701399951918040noreply@blogger.com
