D.Winningham's Profile

As proud grandmother of these 3 active boys (and 2 granddaughters) I have to admit that I am so delighted that my daughter has realized at a much earlier age than I did that children will remember happy days engaged in creative play with their parents enjoying the amusing dialogue and carefree, joy-filled hours. As a child visiting at my grandmother's house I was warned to sit quietly on the sofa with hands in lap and feet held still, so as not to upset her. Visits to her home do not hold warm memories for me... not surprisingly. Childhood is a fleeting moment in time. When my grand kids leave my house and I move around picking up toys, sweeping up crumbs and wiping up occasional baby spit up I may grumble slightly but ultimately whisper a prayer in thanksgiving for the blessings they have brought into my life.
