We are the ones that love to see our children and their children in settings that are remembered with much fondness. I know I enjoy seeing my son and his children doing some of the same things that we did when he was a youngster. Grandpa loves watching them play road hockey! Some of the funniest memories come from when he played with his children. They still laugh an awful lot about some of those times.
When Mother's Day rolls around (and it does every year), sometimes Grandmothers get overlooked. But, I must say this, when we are remembered, it is a wonderful feeling.
We grandmothers are called upon to look after little ones when Mom and Dad just need some "quiet" time on their own. Date nights can be a rarity when you have little ones that are always on the go!
I'm just getting back from a week at their house, while mom and dad headed south for a 10 year anniversary "get away"! Believe me, grandmomming for a week at a time can be a workout!
Having said that, I came across a great book for Grandmothers (and there is even one for Grandfathers), that makes being the "Grandparent" a special treat! It would make a great little gift for that special "Grandma" in your life! Especially great at Mother's Day!

Oh Olivia, I love this! Sometimes it almost feels like Grandma is being looked after by the grands! They sure wear me out.
ReplyDeleteOh Bev, it is just like that. I was worn out after 10 days, but my favorite time with them was reading with them. They love stories and I love sharing them with them too. It's a favorite pastime and one that I know they will enjoy all their lives.
DeleteIt looks like a fun book to read together with the little ones! I know you cherish your time with your grandchildren. I know for a fact they will cherish the memories you have all created together.
ReplyDeleteThat's the whole idea. You can buy them things all the time and they might remember a few of their favorites as they grow, but the time you spend with them will be remembered most. I do love reading with them!
DeleteWhat a sweet gift-idea-in-reverse for Mother's Day. Sounds like a theme the grandkids would love - babysitting grandma! :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure puts them in a position of power (but not really). Makes them accountable too! These are all lessons that they will learn through their lives and it's so much more fun when you are doing it with Grandma!
DeleteWhat a cute idea for a book! Love the title!!!
ReplyDeleteI recently paged through this book at the store. It's so cute. I almost bought it. It is definitely a good book to recommend.
