Twizlet was all mine during the day (except for summers) until she was 3 1/2 years old. She and I had built a strong bond and she always wanted to tell me everything.
Then Teach and Twiz moved their little family to New Jersey; a move that has been an amazing thing for Twizzler's health and for Teach. She is going back to school now and working on her MA.
But it hasn't been a great thing for me and my relationship with my little granddaughter. She and I have drifted apart and other than a portal call every day or so and a few Marco Polos, I am not nearly as important in her life as I once was. As you can see, she would rather hang out with Baby Doll and Scout. She is a big girl now!
I'm happy for her and the growth she has made over the last 9 months. She is so young, she probably doesn't even remember.

I babysat my grand daughter for a few years when she was a baby / toddler. I loved it and I have so many pictures and fun memories from that time. Then she started school and began to have friends... now she's 11 and I'm not nearly as cool as I once was. :) It's hard when our families grow up! I hope you're able to find new ways to connect.
Adorable photos of these two little one! I'm sad they live so far away, but I have grandchildren that do. When they are a little older, you will find you can development another close relationship with them.
They do go through the stage that Grandma's and or even parents aren't that interesting for a while.
Sending loving thoughts and hugs!
