Grandpa spent the day with us today.
You know, I really did not understand the role grandparents can play in your and your child's life until I saw my dad with my son today. He was great & really all he did was cuddle and coo at the little guy but wow, it sure made a difference for me and my mental health, not to mention that Christopher was basking in the love being showered upon him.
I really enjoyed listening to my dad talk to Christopher all day...little private conversations, cooing and general baby talk. Really I had no idea how good my dad could be with a baby! He is also quite a wealth of information about calming a fussy baby & burping! Both topics that we've struggled with for the past few days.
Suffice to say that I'm thrilled that grandpa is eager to come over at least one day a week to hang with Christopher and me!
See you next week dad!
Can't wait for Oma to get here on the 8th...two whole weeks of grandparent help!
