DAY 4 - Cuteness overload

Started the day with a bath because I'm on leave and some days should start with a bath.
After breakfast, I gave the living room a proper clean ready for daughter, sil and grandson #2 to visit. They had been out for breakfast and ordered waffles with chocolate sauce for grandson, expecting the sauce to be drizzled over the waffles but instead it came in a little dish. Of course, grandson gleefully stuck his hands in the sauce. Daughter posted some pics on fb of the three of them before he got covered in chocolate <3
Cute grandson continues to be cute, of course. It's hard to imagine there's a cuter child in the world. But will granddaughter be cuter, simply by being younger? We shall have to wait and see! Half the visit was spent watching grandson crawling around the floor, ignoring his toys and grabbing things he shouldn't. The other half was spent discussing possible names for granddaughter.
When our son was born, I found adjusting to being a family of four difficult and had a tendency to push our daughter out (she was only 3...). Husband brought me up sharp and I made the effort, and we raised two wonderful people. But I always found my relationship with our son easier. Husband, son and I work well together; daughter was always... I don't know the right word. We love her and she loves us. We get along really well - when she's not living with us.
What I'm building up to is that I'm anxious about how things are going to work when there are two grandbabies. Grandson #1 will be an adult soon and he had his whole childhood as an only child. He has a different place in our lives. But two little ones... I don't want to lose the relationship with grandson #2 and I want to build one with granddaughter.
Maybe I'm just overthinking. I'm probably overthinking.
In FFXVI, I've got the plot on pause whilst I mop up some sidequests. I KNOW Gav and Mid need us Right Now but... so do Martha, El and Quinten!!! I never understood the Allies quest board thing that Gaute runs. There never seemed to be any quests on there. Now I realise it's because the little green exclamation marks show up on the map without you having to visit him, which seems a bit unfair.
I have shedloads of Gil, now, and I've bought up some of the orchestration rolls I didn't get last time. Only two blank spaces on the list, now!
And 'The Rising Tide' releases in about 3 weeks - just enough time to finish the main game and play 'Echoes of the Fallen' I reckon!
Tomorrow, I plan to do a bit of shopping and clean the bathroom tiles. And help Quinten. And hopefully Gav!
