Congrats Dan, don't forget to sing to the sprout - get another convert to the cause (of good music).

Ya' know............I talked to this olddude tonight on the phone and he didn't sound happy to me at all. No.....not happy.......I'd say he past happy about 36 steps back and had moved into positively giddy, maybe even more. He might have even gone to plaid! Matter of fact, if you gave him a million bucks a day while constantly tickling his balls with floss ostrich feathers as he floated weightlessly, I doubt he'd be any happier!

Karen's first comment was like many others here......"Oh wow....that's neat.....I bet we get some great songs out of THIS!"...........she's a big fan.

Congrats again Dan!

What wonderful news. Our first grandson was two years old recently and he's been a joy to us.

And guess what? His little brother is due on Monday next - 7th September...!

Good luck to you, OldGrandDude, and to the family!

My youngest grand son has just taken up the guitar at the age of 13. He was thrilled when I showed him a couple of chords. One of my step grandsons once said to me, "Did you know that you are famous"? For once I was gob smacked!
My beautiful Grand daughter is a published poet.
And, the great thing about grand children is, you can send them home when they get up your nose!

Dan, you are in for some fun times; enjoy while you can because like your own children they grow up way too fast.

Congratulations! You will love it!
(My 3rd is due in 5 weeks!)

Just a wee word of warning...you forget just how tiring they can be! I've looked after my 8 month old granddaughter for the last couple of days, and I've got her for the regular slot tomorrow - I'm tatered!

However, the wonder of seeing them develop new skills, and appreciation of the world around them makes it all worth it. My biggest challenge tomorrow is to get her to actually hit the xylophone, and not just wave the beater from side to side, chew it, then throw it!

Congratulations !!

Erica and I have two grandsons.

The eldest was born on my birthday, and I have never had a better present. He plays Ocarina, and I am tempting him with a Faedog D whistle.

Enjoy your grandchild - that's what they are for .

Old grandpa, huh...? Did you buy a cane yet, or save time and just buy a walker?

Congrats, Dan; those little critters are lotsa fun.
