At least we are not to the girl angst yet ... sigh ... maybe next week :) Yeah … look away for 10 minutes as a Grandma and they aged 5 years almost … mine lacks about one inch of being as tall as me … he is already taller than his Mom … he went for his sports physical yesterday that he has to have before he can play jr high sports next fall … it seems like just a bit ago he went to meet the kindergarten teacher … and he already knows where he hopes to go to college!

Nice to "meet you". I was thinking about how quickly grandchildren grow up also. My oldest grandson was just a little tyke and then he was on Spring Break here, all full of angst over girls and scheduling paintball days with his friends and touring the college campuses in the area. Whew! He'll be coming with children of his own before I know it. Just stopped in because of Tuesday Topic! Nice to “meet you”. I was thinking about how quickly grandchildren grow up also.

It is both exciting and depressing ... and as his Grandma ... time moves ever so much faster than it did watching his Mom grow up - it is not a "daily" watch ... I usually see him once a week ... sometimes more ... sometimes less depending on what is happening in our lives ... but he always seems just a bit more grown up each time than the time before last ... good news is that he is awesomely fabulous though :) Yeppers … It is both exciting and depressing … and as his Grandma … time moves ever so much faster than it did watching his Mom grow up – it is not a “daily” watch … I usually see him once a week … sometimes more … sometimes less depending on what is happening in our lives … but he always seems just a bit more grown up each time than the time before last … good news is that he is awesomely fabulous though :)

I love watching them grow and exploring on their own.. but then another moment passes by and they don't want my help or want the nudge... I miss the little boy days sometimes.
