Have I told you about my grandkids…?

I knew Christian Homes placed some of the cutest kids in the world, I got one…but you ought to see the grandkids we adoptive parents get because of those kids placed with us through Christian Homes.
Now remember, I said they were cute…I didn’t say they were perfect…but by the time you have grandchildren you’re of the mindset that your children deserve some payback of some kind…and imperfect grandkids is one sure-fire payback.
Oh, how I love my grandkids! And that thought led me to the thoughts that follow.
When do I love thee, let me count some whens…
I love you when you have a bubble beard after pouring a whole bottle of shampoo in your bath water (actually, everyone in town could have had a bubble beard that day).
I love you when you tell me you have a “burger” in your nose.
I love you when you tell me you can’t go swimming until you’re bigger than your shadow.
I love you when you tell me some crazy thing I just did was “diputs” because we don’t say that word backwards in our house.
I love you when you wrinkle your nose, lower your head slightly, point, and whisper, “That little girl likes me…well, I think all little girls like me!”
I love you when you pray to God and tell Him thanks for letting you know about all the planets.
I love you when the waitress asks how old you are and you say you’re 4 and “Meemo’s 61!”
I love you when your brother tells you he’s going to run away, so you tell me with tears rolling down your cheeks and your lip sticking way out that I’m going to have to get you a new brother.
I love you when you’ve shown how smart you are by finding 9-1-1 on the phone dial when I wasn’t right there to hang it up. That was scary, huh?
I love you when you take your toy hammer and crush a handful of M&Ms to smitherines.
I love you when you run into the yard with your eyes upward and your hands straight up to the sky yelling, “I love you, God!”
Yes, God knew what He was doing when He created grandkids!
