Thanks for reading. I apologize for generic response; however, my fibromyalgia has been really acting up the last few weeks. Have been saving most of my energy for darling Lexi and completing my homebound teaching duties.

Thank you so much for the laugh! I remember the days when my own were babies and the numerous milk baths given to me! And usually at the most inoportune times! Very nice!~:O)J

Dear friend, the happy grandmother,

Excellent! Deeply moving. This was an excellent poetry of a grandmother's love for her granddaughter. I thank you for sharing it with me. Very well written. We both share a common appreciation toward mother's milk. Weeks ago, I sent a poem (song lyric), its title was Mother's Milk. It was sung and performed during the celebration of World Breastfeeding Weeks, at the Indonesian Presidential Palace, on August 20, 2007.
Hope to read your next writing. All the best, tati (May1, 2009)

Hi Rdfrdmom2, nice to meet you. I went through this

already, my granddaughter is 8 now. My daughter was

pregnant at 15, so I was the main caregiver as she went

back to school. I wish I did something like you're doing.

But then, it was too stressful, as she had colic. Very

sweet post. Good luck and stick with it. Kindly, Kathy

Rdfrdmom2,

You are so lucky! I cannot wait to be a grandmother. My daughter just graduated from college in December.

I love the poems. they were well written. The were short and sweet. Very well reflected thoughts and opinions. Goog job on the word choice.

There were no errors to be found.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal

Hi Jan,
And what special moments they are. She is already starting to develop her own individual personality and will learn so much from watching you. Yes, it sounds like she has nanny's undivided attention. Sweet write and thank you for sharing. God bless and best wishes!
