He is adorable. I, too, have the most beautiful and handsome grandbabies.. one boy 17 months old and one grandbaby girl, 8 months old. I get Miss Lily three days a week to take care of. These will probably be my only grandbabies so I really take advantage. They grow up so quickly. We are both blessed.

Thanks everyone. I used to run my own daycare and I would get attached to the kids and then they would move or leave for whatever reasons. So I wanted to be a grandma so bad so I wouldn't have to lose the kids. When my son got married I became an instant grandma to 3 great kids. then my kids have had 7 kids between them and the oldest 2 of my son's kids are now married with little ones. so we have surely been blessed! I am always amazed that this only child (me) has such a large family!!! God has been good to me!!

I usually have kids Fri to Sun each weekend. About one weekend every two months I take off for me. Now that summer is here I will have Jake 12 for a week in July and another week in Aug. He usually only comes every other month rather than every month during the school year so he comes for a few days on holidays and in the summer to make up for it. I used to watch him when he was a baby for 10 hrs a day 6 days a week til he went to school. So he and I have a special bond. I love them all equally but some have a differant personality so they are all a differant relationship.
I love them all but I try to put at least a couple days inbetween having kids. I just sent Daymon and Colton home and Fri I will have Zachary for the weekend. Then Zach will come the next weekend and I may end up with Colton and Devon some the last 2 weeks of this month also.
Zachary is autistic and I am his care giver and respite worker so I get paid for keeping Zach. We have goals we work on with him.
