Giving thanks to my older relatives
Thursday, October 11, 2012
We have often said that our family make-up has provided good experiences for each family member. For example, I learned much about taking care of babies before I had my own little ones to care for. I had the privilege of having several nieces and nephews who visited their grandparents, (my parents, of course) while I was still a student at home. Their care often was shared happily with me. I loved to be their aunt who took them for walks, pushed their buggies, took them to the movies and even changed their diapers. That was back before disposable diapers and I even became adept at using the safety pins without pricking either my hand or the baby's bottom.
