My grandson William will be 13 tomorrow. Two big events, his birthday and turning 13. And oh, being a teen is so different today. So we're prepared and hopefully we'll keep a handle on his youth..
Now that William is 13 and it's Christmas month we have to be sensitive to his day. We want to make sure he knows this is a special time for him and not let the holidays steal his thunder.
Prepare his special dinner, (something he likes best) and make a cake. Homemade is always better then buying one. And if we surprise him, it's even better.
So if you have a grandchild who has a birthday coming up this month, try to make a special effort to make your grandchild feel you remembered and want to say..Happy birthday, we love you.
Because Buffalo is buried under a foot of snow and roads are treacherous this Sunday..grandma and grandpa..will have to do something special later in the week. I made the call, told William I loved him. (Grandpa called earlier) and we made arrangements to see him alone on Saturday. It'll be his special time with us. William and his grandparents. When I suggested we do this, I could sense he was happy we cared. He said yes, and he'd be ready.
Kids need to know your there and will do special things for them. Memories they will always have. Consider the phone call, and make the effort if you can. Loving and living...thats what kids, family, parents and grandparents are all about. Happy birthday to everyone who has one this month....
My best,

Thanks sj, I try to do this for all seven, with one great grandchild and two more coming... I tease my daughter and tell her I'm heading for the hills with no forwarding address....
I love every moment and try to promote that with other families..
