Questions from grandparents to kids:
When you’re considering how to honor grandparents on Grandparents Day — September 8 — why not honor their lives by listening to their stories?
Grandparents treasure the gift of time spent together. Your kids will learn important family history, and there may be some surprise you haven’t heard about either!
Kids typically think of their grandparents as the nice, older folks who are happy to read endless stories, ooh and ahh over the latest artistic creation, and occasionally slip them the sweet treat mom says no to.
What kids don’t usually think about is that their grandparents were once kids and teenagers, like them, who eventually became moms and dads.
Grandparents have a lifetime of experiences to share about their lives growing up, their struggles and their joys at every phase. Taking time to hear about those experiences is a gift for everyone involved.
Skip*Hop Mainframe Wide Open Backpack Diaper Bag
Our parents did their time carrying the not-so-cute diaper bags of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so were not going to ask them to do it again. Do grandparents a favor and send the kiddos with this chic backpack diaper bag from Skip*Hop! The large middle compartment means everything is right at their fingertips, and it offers the option of wearing it as a backpack with adjustable straps or carrying it using the wide, easy-to-grip handles. It also offers stroller straps and a structured design, so theres no slouching, and were sure grandparents wont mind toting this one out and about. Its the least we could do!
Ah, the Bumbo. Were convinced this is one of the best baby and toddler inventions ever, and grandparents are sure to agree. Ultra-light and ultra-portable, the Bumbo 3-in-1 Multi Seat is a floor seat, feeding seat, and booster seat! The adjustable design makes it easy for it to grow with little ones 6-36 months, so its definitely a one-and-done seat that can be left at the grandparents house.
