My son loves his grandparents. Plain and Simple. I do too, for that matter. They are wonderful people who have taught him so much. He only has one set, my parents both passed away so I guess that is why I feel strongly about him spending time with them. My husband swears they are not the same people who raised him, they have been replaced by some sort of aliens who give him anything he wants! He says, "I don't know who they are, but they are not the same people who raised me." It is probably true, they would of never allowed my hubby to DUMP the toy box out and string toys from one end of the house to the other or eat ice cream in living room. I guess that is why grandparenting is so much fun, you don't get the blame for spoiling the child, the parent do. How many times have you heard, "his grandparents spoil him so much and let him do whatever he wants"?
Never.
Never ever.
Nope, not ever.
They teach him so much, spend time with him, let him roll around in the sand, dig in the dirt, and be a little boy and I am thankful for that. I did this project on Easter Sunday, it took like 30 minutes and they will have these forever.

I had a good relationship with my grandparents, I was always at their house and learned a lot from them and have many fond memories of them. I was 12 when they passed away (3 weeks apart) and to he honest it did leave a void in life, I missed them terribly and still do. I do not have one picture of myself with them, not one, so I wanted to do this for them and him. Hubby also loved his grandmothers, he lived right next door to one, so needless to say he was always at her house, he still speaks frequently of them, so this project was close to both our hearts.
