Grandparenting

For My Grandchild : An Album of Memories from Grandparent to Grandchild by Karen Maloof
A great way to pass on family history, and a lot of fun to create. It was a super gift for my mother to get for Mother's Day, and even nicer when we got it back filled up with wonderful childhood memories. Mom said she had a great time reliving her life through the pages, and my daughter loves to have Grandy read it back to her, especially the story of Blackie the dog in the chicken coop.

Humour

Hard Labor: Hilarious Real-Life Stories About the Things Men and Women Do During Pregnancy by Jack York and Brian Krueger
Some of these stories are hilarious, like te dad who gives the new mom the boquet of flowers full of ants, and some make me angry like the dad who would have rather played golf. It's a funny look at childbirth from both points of view. Dads, don't try to drive through McDonald's on the way to the hospital!
