Getting Ready

Sometime in the next few weeks my first grandbaby will arrive.  I've had about 36 weeks to prepare, but most of it has been happening these last few weeks.  We've been sorting through the toys that we saved from our own kids (which we used when company came with small children) and setting aside those which she will play with first.  We've even hung the Noah's-Ark-cloth-bath-toy bag on a hook in the bathroom in preparation of some crazy fun.  We discovered the windup turtle's legs still rotate, propelling him around the tub.  I was saddened that the clam still had his shell, but not the soft inner clam that shoots water into baby's faces.  (Where does one go to find replacement parts for cheap bath toys?)  This is going to be fun.  Raya will, no doubt, be the a topic of many conversations since she will, of course, be above average in beauty, intelligence and talent.


So, for both of you who read this blog, be prepared for stories about my amazing grandbaby compared to whom all other grandbabies will pale in comparison.
