Grand-parenthood

Being a grandparent is wonderful! Showing off pictures, shopping and buying fun baby items. I have a hard time walking thru the stores without stopping to see if there are any baby clothes or toys on sale. This week the purchase was a high chair! Yes, I'm back to buying baby furniture. I started looking ahead to this summer when Michael, Vanessa and Miriam will be with us,planning on things we need to get or change at home. So I went out to Craig's list and looked up baby items in the area. I found a used high chair. It is awesome! It reclines, rocks, has two trays, it is ultra deluxe (this better last us for all our grandkids). My kids never had it so good. Really...the high chair they used was bought for $10 at a garage sale when Rachel was just a few months old. It was practical, inexpensive, and it never wore out so I never replaced it. By the time Rebecca came around I figured it had seen better days. The vinyl was ripping (nothing that a bit of duct tape couldn't fix though) so we ended up throwing it out. I hear that my next purchase should be a car seat. I already have a play-n-pack. Yes, being a grandparent is great...
