Grandson, age three years and one and half months, went to preschool, he is now older which used to be called nursery school when his father went there. He had been there for the third time that week and on the first day he had a tear or two when Mommy left. The teacher told my daughter-in-law to go in the hallway and they would see what would happen. She did and she saw he was fine and she left and when she picked him up three hours later, he was happy to see her and had a good time. The next day, his daddy dropped him off and he saw a classmate with tears and his nose was running. So darling sweet boy got a Kleenex and wiped the running nose to comfort his friend. The teacher told my son that was the sweetest thing she had ever seen in a young child of that age. She has been teaching preschoolers for over twenty years.
He shows already at his young age the compassion and kindness that I taught my children and that his parents are teaching him. Of course, all grandparents think their grandchildren are smart, articulate, beautiful and kind. I know for a fact that my three grandsons are all of that and more and he, who is the youngest grandson, exhibited it yesterday.
Grandparenting is different than parenting because we are so much older and we can stand aside and absorb the wonderful light that shines upon us because of who we are now in this later senior life and be proud of the excellent mission we have accomplished. Grandparenting almost in a way can be analogous to ballroom dancing. How in the world can that be? Here is how. Having a new grandchild or first grandchild is new, exciting, fresh and full of spirit.

I have three grandsons and one granddaughter. It makes you feel young and full of love and hope you live enough time to see them grow up.
