You are constantly worrying about one of them, at any given time, and all of the freedom their mother(s) gives them. I am not the ONLY HELICOPTER GRAMMA out here either.Gramma 2 Manyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973534029927632805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-441620641003567669.post-36234616028591082282010-08-08T13:34:06.219-07:002010-08-08T13:34:06.219-07:00what a huge realization!

When Bird and I get think about how much more freedom we have with Yaya at the park and other places we wonder how hard it will be to go backward to having to be 100% attentive 100% of the time.
