Last week’s post listed several lessons the Man of Steel and I learned during recent visits with our two youngest grandbabies, ages 5 months and 8 months. This week’s post is all about what we learned during those visits from our 2-year-old grandson who turns 3 in a few weeks.

10. Grandparents who want to buy a brand new car can rationalize the purchase because of the LATCH child seat feature. It’s all about keeping the little ones safe.

9.  Ladders are the most important thing.

8.  Grandparents can achieve rock star status by taking a 2-year-old to Home Depot and hanging out in the tool aisle.

7.  While hanging out in the tool aisle, a 2-year-old can teach his grandmother to recognize ball peen, roofing, and tack hammers, as well as explain how they are used.

6. Every moment is a teachable moment.

5. The outdoors in an amazing classroom.

4.  The sweetest thing in the world is holding a small child’s hand.

3.  Intergenerational relationships are a precious treasure.

2.  Each smile from a 2-year-old is a reason for celebration and great joy.

1. Saying good-bye to a 2-year-old grandchild is like resurrection. The next time you meet, the relationship you’ve developed will come alive again.
