From The Savvy Source For Parents
We all know the old "Wheels on the Bus." Next time you go for a walk, try singing "Wheels on the Stroller." Some sample lyrics: The visor on the stroller goes up and down. The girls in the stroller go whee, whee, whee (or wah wah wah, depending on the day. The doggie by the stroller goes bark, bark, bark. The mommy pushing the stroller goes huff and puff.

A poem in rememberance of my Nana who passed away in March, 1976:
Nana, In My Heart Forever More
I wonder as I watch the shore
will I miss my Nana less or more.
Sunshine attempts to blind my eyes
while dark clouds shed my tears.
The seagulls drown my lonely cries
to tell me you are near.
A rainbow shines a misty light
as it hides a child’s fear.
I need not wonder as before…
Nana, in my heart forever more.

Grand Children
Grand children are the light of our lives.
They make us smile when we don't feel like it.
They love unconditionally.
They make us feel young again.
They keep us alive by giving us a reason to live.
Those little faces and eyes melt away all the sadness and unhappiness.
They give us renewed energy.
They are a joy to be around and watch grow up.
They always know when you need a hug.

Relationship Tips: Grandparents and Grandchildren
Keeping the right relations, how to keep close relationships, even with miles in between.
Quite often now, grandparents live great distances from their grandchildren. The yearning for closeness between the generations does not dissipate by the mile. On the contrary, the need for contact is great. So what do you do to keep close when the grandchildren are far away?
Good old fashioned letter writing is a start. No need to wait until the children can read and write. Their parents can read to them and can even take dictation for a reply. This is a small thing for the parent to do. It will bring much joy to your child, and to you. Even the youngest child loves to get mail and letter writing is an easy way for them to get to know you, and for you to keep up with what they are doing.
Correspondence in the modern method, via email, has become popular even for children. The instant gratification is appealing to children, and with a few basic computing tools you can share more than words. Photos can be scanned, as can the children's artwork, report cards and such. The kids will love sharing their world with you while they are encouraged to learn about the technology, and you will enjoy being a part of their life.
