I love this pic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/2008/07/01-07/gma%20layton.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/2008/07/01-07/gma%20layton.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Now, here she is in this sneaky short vid I tookof them together this weekend.&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.motionbox.com/external/hd_player/type%3Dhd%2Cvideo_uid%3Dd49edab3191fe05c" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" height="312" width="416"&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Here, you see nothing but peace reigning.  No crazy toddler moments trying to grab the dog&amp;#39;s lips, no my mother getting annoyed with his repetitive baby games and correcting him with machine gun-like firings of &amp;quot;Nonononononono. Hugo? Nonononononono.&amp;quot; I can&amp;#39;t really go into the details of this past weekend without being really boring or unfair to her, but more than once or thrice I wondered, &amp;quot;Did she really have babies?&amp;quot;  As I was one of the three, I seem to remember it, but perhaps the memory was implanted?&amp;nbsp; (Note to self: check for chip up my ass.)  I mean, she was great with us as kids, if not way too lax on the dsipline.  But I can&amp;#39;t picture her with toddlers.  For her part, she admits she has little to no memory of the baby years.  She claims this is necessary for the human race to continue.  I guess she loved it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me, I&amp;#39;m going to remember the beautiful pics and the cute vids as lovingly displayed above.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Night Internet, I wish you babies that are perfectly behaved and Grandmother&amp;#39;s who are like Mary Poppins.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;xoxoxo,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Susie&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://babble.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=107389" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/edith+layton/default.aspx">edith layton</category><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/grandmothers/default.aspx">grandmothers</category><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/memories/default.aspx">memories</category><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/mary+poppins/default.aspx">mary poppins</category><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/babieses/default.aspx">babieses</category><category domain="http://babble.com/CS/blogs/toddlertube/archive/tags/bananas+and+books/default.aspx">bananas and books</category></item></channel></rss>
