Having just returned from 11 days with our new granddaughter Lola in Brooklyn, I can definitely confirm that being a grandmother rocks. Lola Bennett Camper-Lemke, daughter of our daughter, absolutely is the sweetest, cutest baby around, but I'll bet you hear that from all the grandparents. :-) All my cousins told me I'd love being a grandma, but I couldn't quite grasp it. After all, aren't I still a "youngie?" Is that coughing and gagging I hear?
Ok, admittedly I am definitely of age for grandparent status, I just wasn't sure about my maturity, but that proved fine when I cradled Lola in my arms and when I quickly mastered the new diapering techniques for cloth diapers. Whoever invented the "Snappy" is amazing. Everything felt right as if I possessed special grandparent wisdom that comes with 32 years of experience. Best of all, Meg and Brett are wonderful, loving, attentive parents, so Lola is a lucky little girl.
Here are a few pictures of our cutie patootie, so you can see for yourself just how adorable Lola is.
