Turning the Corner

My grandson is now five months old. He is growing every day and so am I. As much as I do not want to admit it, you do lose some parenting skills after 30 years. I was never nervous with my own children. To be honest, I do not even remember the daily activities we did. They were born, went to school and got married. The specifics of daily life are just a blur. Now, I am responsible for my grandson 1 hour 4 days a week and one evening a week. At the beginning I was scared, primarily because he was a preemie and needed extra care. Now he is over 13 pounds and is reaching the milestones that are expected of him. I no longer have to listen to him breathe when he eats and I no longer have to watch his head flop around. I can now just relax and enjoy.
