We also watch Grands when necessary. We don't do it on a full time basis, but we do have some about 1 day a week. This gives us a chance for great one on one time. Tomorrow out 4yo GS is coming. We will spend some time working on writing his name and the abc's. I talk to the oldest GS every day about school. I try to reinforce what his parents are teaching him. In todays world kids and parents need all of the support they can get. I take it very seriously as one of my grandma jobs.
