What is a good 'Nona'?

When my three daughters were little their exposure to grandparents was not the norm. Both of their paternal grandparents had been married three times; composing a possibility of eight grandparents. Their maternal grandparents were in the middle of divorcing and finding new possible grandparents. Four more maybe grandparents in the making. By the time all the would be grandparents settled down with their new partners my children were grown. Needless to say, grandparenting, was not modeled to my children in a normal fashion. Now I find myself the 'Nona' and wonder if I am a normal grandmother. I am still married to the original grandpa...they all call him 'Papa'. Papa and Nona love their roles and probably push the limit on what is allowable for grandparents. Movies or as they call them moo-bees and popcorn while we snuggle on the couch are priceless. Treats are expected pantry occupants at our house. The little ones bring their appetites and we attempt to drive back the hunger pains. Cereal pronounced ser-ral is in constant demand. Rice milk for the ones who are lactose intolerant and whole hormone free milk for the others is a must. Papa makes latte for the little boys up the street on a regular basis. Have we started an addiction to early...? For those of you who are suddenly concerned about caffeine...it is a hot steamer with torani syrup...not real coffee. Relax! 'Chill up' as Papa would say. Playing in 'Nona' stamp collection is always a big hit and "can we do a craft" is a regular question around here. Hot-tubbing is in high demand. Just about anything goes. Papa and I love them, spoil them and then send them home. Our daughters are great moms and are really generous in their allowance of over indulging grandparents. If I am not the normal, don't ruin it for me. I am having a great time and love the memories I am able to make with each and every one of the sweethearts who call me 'Nona'.
