Grandpa the Babysitter

[Gunny]

When the little ones start to drive you bananas, just remember, that down the road you will be wishing you could be at that moment to do it again, even if it sucks. ('cept for the diaper changing)

They're okay. They mind me better than their parents.

So my last little foray you can see in my profile pic. I actually managed to get both girls to swim. Their dad -- weak little chump that he is -- was just like "I couldn't get them to do that for me."

Too bad, huh?

We have 11 grandkids and one great-granddaughter (she's one today)

When we had just four, we took them to DisneyWorld for the day. They were 7, 5, 3 and 2. The two year old was strapped in the stroller, which was heavily loaded with diaper bags. We were in line for the train and noticed I was pushing an empty stroller. The toddler had climbed out and was heading for the turnstile. Grandpa grabbed him quickly. We never told mom and we never took more than two at a time to Disney after that.
