I am the oldest of four siblings, ,my youngest brother 12 years younger than me. I have four kids of my own, 14 years between the oldest and the youngest. Most of my life there has been small kids around. Though from Marta was a baby till Leander was born, it took almost 20 years. A huge gap.
But a year ago our grandson was born, and all of a sudden there are signs all around the house that there is a toddler visiting from time to time.
I love being a grandma, or a bestemor (best mother) as we say in Norwegian.
Leander is with us this weekend, and today he and I have been home alone. Toys on the floor are the best interior designs imaginable.
Sitting down to read books together is the best of time.
And the patchwork elephant Elmer is a favorite of both of us.
