What grandparents might do (4)

I believe the answer is:

dote

(Other definitions for dote that I've seen before include "Be weakly affectionate" , "Be feeble when getting on" , "Show great fondness for another" , "Be overfond" , "Be foolishly fond" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
