Grandparenting 101

My pregnant daughter-in-law gave this to me. This will be our first grandchild. We are thrilled and excited, but it has been decades since I was looking to purchase port a cribs, car seats etc. The writing is clear and fun. She gives very specific advice about what to buy and what is not necessary. She handles big issues of not interfering or criticizing, but in a humorous way we can all relate to. After I read this slim book, I ordered more to give to my friends who are lucky to be joining the ranks of grandparents. This is a keeper!

Perfect Gift for new grandparents!

I have now bought 4 of these books for my friends who are becoming new grandparents and every one of them has loved it -- a perfect gift!
