While prepping for the arrival of my first grandchild, I have discovered that the world of infants has evolved greatly since my last go around...new parents are now instructed to have their infant sleep on it's back, and no bumpers nor stuffed toys allowed in their crib. The amount of baby equipment available can boggle one's mind. New to me is the Bumbo Seat, the Boppy Pillow and Boppy Lounger, specialized nursing cover-ups, the Noggin Nest Support, pacifiers specific for day or night time, baby monitors which now come with a video screen and three wheel strollers with speaker built in for your I-Pod, WOW.
For parents of little boys you have The Pee-Pee Tee-Pee. If you are a mother of a baby boy, no explanation is needed...new fads my come and go...
however, the one constant in a child's life that will never change is love...whether it be one's parents or grandparents the love you feel for a child or grandchild never wavers, it remains constant, no matter their age...
Little boys don't take baths, they just dust off.~Unknown.

My daughter needs that Pee Pee tee pee! Lol You will love being a grandma it's wonderful!!I can't believe all the baby gadgets it's a little crazy,Hugs Cheri
Yeah I was shocked too. How things have changed. That stuff just makes me laugh though.
We just used a diaper to cover up little boy. I think the same goes with my girls. The figure it out pretty fast. :) Have fun though. Isn't it weird because it just doesn't seem like that long ago. :) I mean really, even though I am having a birthday this week, How can I really be that old, right. :)
What a great idea for little boys! I have 2 boys and was peed on many a time.
Hugs :)

Welcome to the world of grandparenting! Even with all the new "gadgets", you're right. Love never changes. Enjoy the anticipation, Dawn
PeePee TeePee! Cracking me up!
Yes times have changed but I still think it was easier when I was raising babies. They all turned out just fine and I did not have anything fancy to do that with. What will it be like in about 50 years :)
I raised 8 little boys and had to do a lot of dusting and now they stay in the shower forever :)
Hello! I've just found your lovely blog and am now following...so nice to meet you!
Best,
Anne
There are a great many ways for new parents to spend money on unnecessary equipment these days but a stroller with a speaker for an ipod! Whatever happened to talking and singing to your baby?
I could have used that teepee while babysitting the other night.. Almost got it in the eye. :)
ohboy...the excitement is building! You're going to have so much fun!
Hello, yes, boggels the mind all the trinkets out there, but love is the constent gaget. So happy for you, Blessings Francine.
Looking forward to hearing about your times with you grandson!
All that stuff makes me wonder how my children survived without it all!!
