    My husband and I had 7 kids between us, me 2 him 5, and we were looking forward to some child free decadence in our later years- travel, theatre, eating out, etc etc. Then came a surprise- I gave birth to our combined 8th child at almost 49! We thought long and hard about bringing this little chap into the world and boy are we so glad we did. What a terrific, if totally unplanned and daunting life event. He is 3 and a half now and he enjoys, travelling (a lot), eating out and the theatre (sometimes). What a joy to have the maturity (no sweating the small stuff)and financial freedom to enjoy seeing and experiencing the world through this little boy's eyes. Parenting has never been so much fun. But my god, those joints are sore in the morning.

      You must be Superwoman. I love being with my Grandson but I also like to option of giving him back to his parents at the end of our visits, I can not imagine doing what you're doing. You have my admiration, your little boy is lucky to have such terrific parents.
