Though I appreciate day care for all of the life lessons it teaches the kids (sharing, patience, friendshi), I don't think my kids would be as sweet and happy of human beings if they didn't spend 2 days a week in the care of their grandparents. I truly believe that my kids are happier and more loving because of all of the love and attention that is poured upon them every Tuesday and Thursday by Baachan and Jiichan. Yes, they are doted upon and spoiled with their choice of toys to play with. They are given the ability to choose their snacks and lunch meal on those days, but I don't think that it has made them spoiled boys. I think it has just shone them what love is. Love is rubbing their back while they try to fall asleep through intermittent coughing. Love is reading them stories in the bathroom while they go to the potty. Love is reviewing every barn yard animal and the sound that they make. I appreciate them so much and hope that they know how valuaable we consider them and how valuable the boys consider them as well.
