Chill out!

I have found that as much as I loved (and still love) being a mother, I am even fonder of being a grandmother. I find I am much slower to say no, much slower to scold, much quicker to hug and kiss and reassure. So what if we get a little muddy, or a little wet, or even a lot wet! We are washable!! This was such a sweet day watching Ava play with the hose. She loved the water and exploring what she could do with it. The joy on her face was priceless and well worth having another bathtime.
