The absolutely do. My daughter is 8 and my son is 10. Having the best times of my life watching them grow.
I keep running into this: The U-Verse guy wiring my son's TV, "Ok, your gandson's all set!"
My daughter's softball team mate in the dug-out ,"Your grandpa played catch with me!"
The bag-boy at the grocery, to my daighter, "You always help your grandpa shop?"
I just smile -
Reading the posts on my high school web site is fun. They're all retired and attending reunions.
42 years, so far, of kids in the house....And loving it!
