Remember, when you had the girls, she still got to see the kids. You made that happen, and she wanted to. YOu should do the same thing when she has the girls. Try to eat with them, etc. In fact, didn't she see them every day even though you had them? Think about how that all happened and do it the same way. If anything you will see how she responds. Will she be as accomodating to you when SHE has the kids?

7 years old....wow.....such a sweet age, too. I taught third graders...loved that age! Still so innocent, but their own little person.
