At fifteen years old I took typing in my freshman year of high school. The keys often stuck, and there was no such thing as "spell check," or a "delete" button. I used my fair share of white-out and typewriter ribbon. My best timing after an entire semester was 40 wpm. Times have certainly changed! At 21 months old my grandson has been introduced to a computerized keyboard, which teaches him words, sounds, and letters. If they made learning to type this much fun when I was a kid, I probably would have shown up for most of my classes!
Open to learning,
Bubbie and Jude
P.S. At what ages did your grandchildren get onto the computer?

There's not a whole lot that can top a "bounce house" for a two year old's birthday party. (Not in Jude's mind, anyway.) As long as you have a big enough back yard, or a park to set them up in...you are good to go! These outdoor playgyms are incredibly fun for the kids, as well as the few brave adults pulled in by their apprehensive toddlers. Closest thing to this that I got to do as a kid was to bounce on the sofa or bed. And we didn't have the encouragement of our parents standing by, cheering us on. It was more like, "if I catch you jumping on that sofa one more time.........!"(you know the rest). Ahh, the good "new" days! 
Potty training time! A time for all good parents to come to the aid of their toddlers, by helping them understand when, where, why and how to go potty. I think it's a safe bet to say, this is not what it's supposed to look like! After Jude removed all that was in his way, he stepped right into the potty to see if he could fit...standing, of course. Hmm, don't think that he's willing or able to do the deed, just yet!
