Baby-socialization

There comes a time when first-borns and children without sisters and brothers have to be thrown into the ring with other kids. GrandBoy is starting his baby-socialization stage, thanks to birthday parties, family and church events, play dates, Gymboree and the Y, and so forth.

It's just the beginning of all those life lessons to be learned as he figures out how to negotiate the big wide world: sharing, playing nice, NO biting or hitting, and, of course the ultimate: Hey, I may not be the entire center of the universe!

I wish him well on his socialization process. His GrandMary knows that he'll put his easy-going temperament, big flirty blue eyes, and light-up-a-room smile to good use along the way.
