Twighlight Zone

As I sit here and watch AM untie my shoes, while the little guy naps, after a morning where he clung to me every second until I fed him and he went to bed, I listen to his grandma "sing" her notes in the kitchen...she warned me...said I may hear some music for her music class...I thought maybe from her Mac laptop that's sitting in front of her, but no...the 'music', the notes..are coming from her. Trust me it is not like Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music either :) But I have spent the past 2 days trying to figure grandma out. You know there are the ones who bake, the ones who shop, the ones who walk, the ones who hate young people, nice ones, mean ones, skinny ones, fat ones, ones who love their grandkids and ones who could care less about them. So I had thought that she loves the little guy but maybe is not so comfortable with him because this is only the 2nd time she's seen him, she is skinny, she looks 'natural', like granola natural, she went for a walk, but that was after sitting in front of her laptop all day. Which Cory did ask me "what kind of grandma has a laptop?" :) But after all this, I know what she reminds me of, my, your, all of our, elementary school music teacher. Ahhhh, ohhhh, laaaa. Doooe, Raaaeee, Meeee.
What's funny though...I am so comfortable with this whole crazy family, and I've actually met more of them than I ever imagined I would. Obviously the mom and dad. Then his dad and step mom, his sister, his cousin and her boyfriend, and now his mom. Her fam lives in CA, so hard to meet, or I'm sure I would have. Anyway, it's like the twilight zone and I'm eerily comfortable in it.
