It is a special time for our family, Papa and Gran are with us from Scotland. They will be staying with us for 4 weeks. Bug and Gran have been lost in a fairy world - Gran's ability to enter this world completely is an inspiration to me. Looking at them playing on the swings together makes me think that they are more like sisters than Grandaughter and Grandmother. Papa and Gran this week have been the stars in plays, the audience for endless ballet routines, football players and wonderful dish washers!
This is a big learning time for me; adjusting to being a bigger family while letting go of judging myself as a mother through the eyes of others. I am also hoping that some grandparent, magic and wisdom will seep into my soul over the coming month. When I felt frustrated about JJ's anger and behaviour today Gran just gently said "it will pass, just be thankful he is with you" reminding me how temporal life is.

What a wonderful wise comment from a grandparent. You are lucky.
