Grandparent Invasion Day

Today all four of H's grandparents arrived to stay until Monday. H's birthday party is being held on Sunday, although his birthday was last weekend. While it's nice to have more time to myself during the day, it feels very strange. I am not accustom to being able to leave the house during the day without H, nor am I used to doing laundry without carrying my twenty-two pound helper in the basket. Also, today as one of his grandmothers was feeding him his afternoon bottle, I realized that I'm delegating all the fun stuff. I don't think I realized how much I enjoyed having him look up at me while I give him his bottle or our cuddling during story time. It is nice though to be able to share the joy of watching H with people who adore him as much as I do, besides his parents.
