Wow, I don't have words to describe how it feels to be a grandparent, but I'm going to try anyway. It's much different than being a parent.
When you're a grandparent, you get to feel all of the emotion, excitement and fun of having a baby around but don't have to take 'total' responsibility. It sounds odd but it's true. You have true unconditional love, and can put up with baby's fussiness like a pro. At the end of the day/visit though, grand baby goes back home with Mom & Dad. Grandma's free to do whatever Grandmas do.
I have what I think I'd like to call Grandparentitis: I have baby's picture plastered everywhere you can imagine. All of my computer desktops have different pictures of Grandson Nigel. I have several 8X10's hanging in my home office (and in frames around the house) let alone cell phone and ipod backgrounds. The kids a natural model as far as Granny's concerned. :) The picture showing is my current desktop picture of him on my home computer. How cute is that?!?
