Grandparents are the Foot Steps to Future Generations

   
I hope you all enjoyed a fun Labour Day week-end! Our's was jam packed with birthday celebrations, our family photo session, outdoor activities, and then ending with us all catching a cold virus. It has not been a fun one either, considering my kid just got sick to his stomach from it. Poor little guy is crashed out on my lap right now as I am typing this and those of you who know my child know this is a very rare occurrence these days since him giving up his nap.

     We have been very focused on my child's grandparents this week as this Sunday happens to be Grandparents Day in case yall were not aware. The relationship between a grandparent and grandchild is super special and important to me more than any other extended family relationship (unless a grandparent shows highly toxic behavior). If it was not for grandparents saying yes to having our parents, well we would not be here nor would our kids. Our parents raised us and as long as it was done in a loving and respectful way then I think it is very important our children receive that love too that we got from our parents and have our parents enjoy the gift of time and bonding with their grandchildren while they can.

Also
     Also this week we worked on tracing the letter "Nn" and number 4. I did not take as many photos this week as a lot of these activities I did in my other letter Nn activity entry which you can look at if you look back through my archives for Nn activities.
