ROFL at the expeditions. Ahhh, sounds so familiar. And don't worry, little g-doody still gets mad at daddy and tells him he's mean. And I'm tellin ya!...if you take them to any store, be prepared for it to take longer and for them to ask for everything under the sun. STAY AWAY FROM TOY SECTIONS AT ALL COST! LMAO!

And ((Mois)) I don't think so! You most definitely can fill those shoes. Their emotional investment in the 'real' granddad is miniscule I'm sure. It's their mom and dad, I think, that they will have issues with.

Having a new and huge responsibility is overwhelming no matter how much you think you are prepared. Just bringing Bruna home with me had me in a spiral for a bit. I thought...what HAVE I gotten myself into. It's just being overwhelmed, but the routine of it all will settle in.
