I was there when you arrived HOME from Ethiopia after a long two day journey with your Mom and Dad. You must have been tired, but you didn’t cry. You carefully looked us all over – your new family – from the safety of Mommy’s arms. Those dark eyes danced and then you smiled, revealing dimples that stole my heart. Two years later and I am indeed your Grandmommy! Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!
For my grandson’s third birthday, I chose the Hallmark Curious George recordable book and the Curious George plush character that talks when you press the toe (loudly). I also recorded the story in my voice. My daughter says he plays the storybook all the time. I watched on iPad FaceTime as he opened them and played the book. For just a moment, there was a look of confusion as to how I could accomplish being in two places at once, but then he picked the book up and hugged it to his chest. I will be there for a visit in a few short weeks and I can’t wait!
This is so beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful trip to see your grandson. I love the new Hallmark Recordable Books. What an amazing thing this is… to be able to have your grandson hear your voice reading a favorite book.
Happy Birthday little guy.
Your grandchildren are so adorable. I know that face time is not the same we do it with our grand daughter there is nothing like hugging.

Bless him, and (from an adoptive mother) his parents and all his family! Lovely.
Thank you so much, everyone! Grandchildren are the greatest blessing in all the world!
