Thank you for visiting. I was at the beach (when I shot the photo of the choked-up seagull) with my two children and their children. It is a favourite place to
meet in the summer, they living on Long Island and me living in Manhattan. Thank you for your comments about achieving a good balance of relating as
a grandparent.

In reply to kaye. I find being a grandmother really wonderful, but I too am struggling to define the relationship, especially when some of the grandchildren are close by (a short walk) and others are a drive of 40-50 minutes away (still not far, but it's a different experience.)

I’ve noticed your name in a number of comments recently and thought I’d pop over to get aquainted. This was a very nice post with a thought provoking question at the end. My daughter works so I tend my two grandson’s daily and the three granddaughters frequently as my other daughter gets busy and needs a little help. I see them on a daily basis. So I am going to stew over your question today. Sometimes it’s hard to find what’s special when it’s part of the daily routine. But I do love being a grandmother more than anything.

In reply to Susan. Sounds wonderful! Now you need to get them little lace gloves and proper hats.

Savta…I love the blog! What do I do? I began teaching my granddaughters, Sophie and Riley, to tap dance when they were toddlers. It was lots of fun. Today, “Rainy Day Tea Parties” are my specialty. We do it by candlelight. Nana (Susan Nolan)

It’s amazing how much you and Vicki still look the same as you did then.

My daughter loves the songs that my mom sings with her – “Open, shut them,” “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” and “Baby Leelee” all with hand motions.

My children LOVE their grandparents!
