Our newest grandbaby comes to visit us often. We take the responsibility of some of his learning very seriously. We make sure he had educational books and toys, we encourage his baby talk, we show him how to brush his hair and teeth...all the things his parents do but we reinforce his learning. I am mindful of the lessons we teach all those around us. But in the kitchen, during a quiet moment between the three of us, Gran, Poppy and Bradley, I had the joy of watching simple lessons learned. Jim was eating Oreo cookies dunked in milk, B was sitting on the counter watching him and then picked up an Oreo and dunked it in Jim's milk...whole hand and all. Results...no words spoken, no plans made....lessons learned.
