Sometimes I kind of lose it a bit privately over that. My daughter-in-law said it would be okay, and that her mom finally held him, but I just don't think I want to take the chance. We're all mask wearers, but it seems kind of selfish of me to think I have to hold him.
I was thinking that I might drive out and see him and my four year old grandson through the window, or maybe on their back patio, if the weather is nice. It's hard to keep distance from a four year old. He's just so darned cute I can hardly stand it. I got the privilege of taking care of him when his mom went back to work when he was three months old, and we got some great bonding in. I mean, I held him almost all the time until he was big enough to want to crawl and such. Somebody asked me how I got anything done when I was holding him all the time. I answered that I WAS doing something. I was holding my grandson! He was my fourth grandchild, and I thought would be the last, so I threw all of the rules away and did what I wanted to do.
Being a grandma is really the best thing in the world. It really is.
