When I wrote about grandparents parenting, one of my readers related the joys she’s experienced caring for a grandchild.

Janet shared:
I took care of my grandson from the time he was six months until he was 2 1/2 while his mom returned to work. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to bond with him and to watch him grow.
I watched him crawl for the first time and take his first steps and I helped to potty train him. I will remember these important firsts the same as I remember my own childrens.
He calls me Grammy and I love it!
On a personal note, I’ve had the pleasure of watching my two grandchildren grow, and being involved in their lives, from the time they were 1 and 5 years old, because they and their parents have lived with us for a number of years. Now our granddaughter goes off to college in the fall.
Share with us the joys of grandparenting.
