Chapter 3 - Weeks 2-3


Teeny Grandma and Grandpa Pollock arrive –also their first grandchild (this boy is going to be spoiled.) Grandpa snuck away from work and has had a much better time hanging out with Theo. Teeny Grandma calls Theo ‘dear’ and cups her hands on his head like one would imagine warming one's hands on a hot cup of indulgent hot chocolate with whipped cream on top. She gets to stay a bit longer and is a whirl-wind about the house, keeping up the housework and staying up late with the child so Theo’s mother Caroline can rest. At most other times of the day, the new mother sits around with the baby amazed that he is hers, all the while trying to figure out how nursing is considered natural and wondering how parents throughout the ages have ever managed to get any sleep.
