Grandparents

We are so fortunate to live so close to both sets of grandparents. I live 20 minutes from my parents and 10 minutes from my in-laws. They love Mary-Kate so much! It is amazing watching her with them. She knows just what she can get by with at each house. At my parent's house, they have antiques. Of course MK likes to play with breakables. She says, "I will be easy with that." My mom has little bunnies in one of her antique rooms. MK lines each of the bunnies up and gives them each a fruit. She also has a tea party with them with an old tea set. My mom has a doll that is about 80 years old that my grandmother played with. MK just found it and told me it was "treasure." She loves holding it and pushing it in her stroller. Yikes!!! I hope it holds together while we visit and my mom will hide it before we return! My dad has so much patience with MK. He loves to tell her about fishing, cows, and farming. My husband's parents are so great with her too. They are friends with my parents, so we can do a lot of things together! My mother-in-law collects porcelain dolls. MK loves these because, you guessed it, they are breakables. My father-in-law plays golf and so MK always runs right to his golf ball stash. She learns different things from all four of them. She will be well balanced. What a blessing to have them in our daily lives!
