He weighs little more than a large sack of flour and yet he has laid waste to the living room: swaddles on the chair, a nursing pillow on the sofa, a car seat, a stroller. No one cares about order, he is our order, we revolve around him. And as I try to get in the creases of his thighs with a wipe, I look at his, let's be honest, largely formless face and unfocused eyes and fall in love with him. Look at him and think, well, that's taken care of, I will do anything for you as long as we both shall live, world without end, amen.\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore blogs even existed, Anna Quindlen became a go-to writer on the joys and challenges of family, motherhood, and modern life, in her nationally syndicated column. Now she's taking the next step and going full nana in the pages of this lively, beautiful, and moving book about being a grandmother. Quindlen offers thoughtful and telling observations about her new role, no longer mother and decision-maker but secondary character and support to the parents of her grandson. She writes, \"Where I once led, I have to learn to follow.\" Eventually a close friend provides words to live by: \"Did they ask you?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCandid, funny, frank, and illuminating, this is the perfect gift for new parents and grandparents.
