My grandbabies arent in school or near school age yet, but yes they sure do grow fast. My oldest grand daughter is almost 2yrs old! Time flew! My other grand daughter is 10 months old already! That time really flew by! By December, there will be yet another grandbaby in the family and another one to grow way to quick for grammy!! It flies fast for me because I live 10 hours away and cant see them daily, weekly or even monthly
