Sounds very good.... :) You can cook for them when you feel like it, don't have to do it every day.... and get a break from the kid enough
to enjoy him more when you do have time with him... ;)

Pretty much! Though we are missing him quite a bit and haven't seen
him since Saturday so we're trying to figure out when we can steal
him for a bit as we don't have his room ready yet.

Grandparenting is a lot like "Uncle-ing". Spoil the kids rotten, load
them up with sugar to make them hyper and send them back to their
parents to deal with. Makes 'em "pay for their raisin'". Bv)=
