There are many things I love about being grandma . . . I love the greetings I received when my grandchildren were young and arrived at my home, or I showed up wherever they are . . . "It's grandma!!!!" (Followed by running and the giving and receiving of hugs!!!) I love the way my heart continues to be filled with joy whenever I think about and spend time with my grandsons!
I remember one such time when my oldest grandson was seven years old. We were driving to church and I asked him about his report card (he just received a report card a couple days earlier). He told me; "My teacher says I talk too much, but I have a lot of friends!" This made his poppa and I laugh, a lot, because he never was at a loss for something to talk about! We totally believed his teacher might think he talked too much! I also found it funny how he thought it was important to explain his, "talking too much" . . . because he had a lot of friends! I remember thinking it would definitely be a challenge for this extremely sweet and completely not shy boy to reign in his talking!
And, before I share the following, I'm posting a, "grandma brag alert" . . . his report card noted he was reading at mid-third grade level (he was beginning second grade at the time) and he was very good at math (not a surprise at all)!
So, this grandma is happy my grandson was doing well in school when it comes to the academics, and his own confidence (and continues to do so) - as I said, he is not shy at all!
