Having no previous experience as a grandfather this came as somewhat of a surprise to me. You veteran granddads will surely relate to what I'm about to say.
Last night I had a conversation with Gwyneth. (See the picture in the previous post.) I explained to her that if she wanted to leave the hospital she would have to drink the whole bottle and prove she no longer needed the feeding tube. That's it. She listened intently, and apparently it sank in.
Later that evening and throughout the day she has been feeding only from the bottle and they have removed the tube. Said the nurse, "Sometimes they just suddenly get it."
Yeah. I'll bet right after a talk with a grandfather. Someone should keep the stats.

You are adapting to this new role very readily!! :):)
LOL!
grandparents can ALWAYS get the grandkids to eat! and set them straight on how to break out of somewhere...like a NICU :-)
Way to go Grandpa!!! I think that is somewhere in the grandparent code book. My grandma could make you eat more after you ate a lot already. She would say, "Oh honey, don't you like it, here, try this.". LOL Funny how it all kicks in when you need it. LOLOL

Way to go Grandpa! My kids listen better to my dad too! Keep up with the grandfatherly advice!
HeeHee! Sometimes grandparents have a way with kids their parents just dont! Way to go!
You're probably right. Never underestimate the power of Grandaddy! So, did you have fun at Babies R Us???
God Bless you all

You rock, Grandpa! The good ones always do! :-)
I'm sure you're right. Or maybe nobody gave Gwyneth the low down until you told her. She's probably been wondering just what she had to do to break outta' that joint. You told her… she did it. :-)
This is so cool..i totally believe how grandparents can inspire thier grandkids. Way to go.
