Getting In Fighting Shape For Grandparenting

Getting in shape to be a grandparent is kinda like getting in shape for a half-marathon:

* Takes planning  - What will you be called?

* Takes eating right - Gotta build stamina for horsey rides.

* Takes a sense of humor - Some days you'll get a little poop on ya (that's just wrong).

* Takes paying attention to small injuries - No, really, it's OK that you aren't naming the baby after me. ~sniff~

* Takes having the proper equipment - An open heart is your best investment.

* Takes purposeful resting - Once that bundle gets here, you'll be thankful for the energy.

* Takes noting that we have forgotten many of the challenges of parenting - but we will always REMEMBER THE ALAMO!

* Takes practicing for the easy laugh...
