Monday Musings - What's a Nana to do?

I purposefully didn't post yesterday, because it had been one of those scattered days. What was on my mind in the morning never materialized, but in the end, I decided not to post for the sake of posting. My intention in participating in the #31dayblogchallenge is provide a cohesive flow to it all - even if it is December.A lot of the activity yesterday centered around my becoming a grandmother early next year. With each passing week I find myself becoming more and more excited (as if that's possible) about the changes that this little person is going to bring into my life.I'm also finding that as I search through Pinterest for items for the Nana board - of course, I have one! - that I'm feeling out of step with some of the current thinking on grandkids.  I almost hate to admit it, being not yet an official member of the club - but I wonder...If the meaning of spoiling your grandchildren means totally lavishing them with hugs, kisses and attention all the time, sign me up.  But I'm more than a little bothered by some of the posts about kitchen open 24 hours a day, dessert comes first, bedtime is negotiable?I just can't see that in my house - children need rituals and schedules, and I see my role as supporting the rules that her parents put down, not going against them.   Or is there just something that I'm not getting?What words of wisdom would you pass along to an almost grandmother? What am I missing?
