Grandparenting 101

July 26, 2012

I always thought grandparents were kind of silly: pulling out the inevitable slew of photos, quoting the latest cute things their little darlings had said, and bragging, bragging, bragging. On June 30, 2012, however, something changed my mind about all that. To my delight, I became a first-time grandmother! Abigail Rose is perfect, just perfect. By the way, would you like to see some photos?

One thing I’ve noticed is that parenting styles and paraphernalia seem to have changed quite a bit since my children were babies. I wondered, since I’ll be helping out with Abigail, will I be up to the task? I need a refresher course! And what better place to go for help than my Library?

After a quick search, I found these titles and more. If you’re in the same boat as I am, why not give them a try?
