Grandsons

I guess it would be easier if I gave my grandson's initials instead of how old they are each time I write about them.  So here goes.  One daughter has O who is 3 1/2 (actually 3 3/4) and D who is 2 months old.  And the other daughter has E who just turned 3 and will be having #4 grandchild in September.   I will be babysitting E today while his mom goes in for her check up.  And tomorrow I'll be babysitting D while his mom takes O to a birthday party.  It will be nice for her to have some activity with just O.  And I will get to feed D for the first time.
While decluttering I came across decorations I had saved from my baby shower thirty years ago.  We didn't know back then the gender of the coming little bundle.  Sonograms were new back then and  not used unless a problem was suspected.  I did have one, since I was so big they suspected twins, but the baby wasn't positioned right to tell the gender.  So most showers were just general baby decorations in pastels.  I was thinking back on that shower and what we played then.  I know we played  the old standard clothespin game.  That's where you clip a clothespin to you skirt or pants hem.  You are not to cross your legs.  When someone does cross their legs, the first one to point it out gets that clothespin.  At the end of the shower, the person with the most clothespins wins.  I never even get close to winning because I usually cross my legs right off and then don't pay attention to who else crosses their legs.  But it's fun.
E is on his way over, so I best stop for now.
