I have my grandson tonight.

For the first time, overnight. He's 7 months old and obviously the most perfect baby that ever existed Grin
Mum is back to work next month (I work part time so will be helping fill in the childcare gaps) so it seems a good opportunity to give his parents a night off and for him to be with me for a long period.
But he isn't going to be impressed when he wakes in the night to discover it's expressed milk in a bottle and not boob ! (He takes a bottle but not with enthusiasm and he hasn't slept through yet)
Wish me luck... there is a reason 54yr olds don't have babies Grin
I see him most days, he is absolutely happy with me, but I have a feeling it might be a LONG night.....

*but I get the cuddles, and to bath him in the morning and all the lovely lovely baby stuff ...

@percythewitch yes its awful, I’ve only seen the 21/2 yr old twins once when they were a couple of months old.
@StillMedusa enjoy it all! I’ve noticed that 12 years on in the grandparent journey I’m finding it much harder now than aged 54!

PerseverancePays My DS1 is in Australia..very happy and with the loveliest partner, but it does make me sad that when they have babies, I will be far away Granny. His partner loves the UK (she lived with us for two years) and I still hope they will return!
