When Grandparents Are In Charge

Dear Grandparents,

Thank you for recently babysitting our kiddos, I know that when they are with you they are in good hands and always sticking to their normal rules and routines.

Thank you Grandparents, for giving Emmy an ink pen. She’s completely trustworthy with things that are permanent.

Thank you Grandparents, for sticking to the two packs of fruit snacks rule a day. Sure, Chris came home saying you gave him four at a time, several times a day – but I know he was just kidding around.

Thank you Grandparents, for giving Emmy her very own Dr. Pepper. It was about time that baby knew about things other than milk, water, and occasional juices.

Thank you Grandparents for the well balanced meals you gave the kiddos. Two Happy Meals in 24 hours is on that food group chart, right?

Thank you Grandma for making sure Emmy had a time out after running into the street. I love the expression of shock and awe on Emmy’s face that her Grandma actually put her in time out.

In all seriousness, thank you so much for watching my babies and keeping them safe. They always have fun with their grandparents, and we’re so lucky to have you!
