Grandparents

Dear Grandparents, thank you for everything you do.  You are the best babysitters, advisers and keepers of the sanity.  Here are a few things, that are just extra perks, for you to have at your house.  EVERYTHING, just kidding, sort of.  The more you have at your house the less your daughter or son (ie daughter-in-law) has to haul.  Whether its across town or across the country it is like heaven to be able to go somewhere with your little one and not worrying about packing your babies life up and taking it with you.  I will try and go in order from most helpful on down.  (as always this is my opinion ask your kids what is helpful and what isn't)  Also advice is great, but we have to try and fail on our own just as you did. :)

3 biggest essentials
Pack-n-play or Crib
Bouncy Chair
High Chair
Toys
Books

Major Pluses (look at garage sales, Goodwill....)
Exersaucer or bounceroo (only way to coral those little crawlers and give adults a few minutes to chat)
Diapers (I kept a few diapers from each size we ordered and took them to my dad's so now he has every size for the next one)
Wipes
Snacks
Onsies or outfits in multiple sizes would be great for accidents.
Formula
Potty Chair
Zero entry, pool would always be great too. :)
