A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)

Aunt and nephew

"[T]he model middle child is patient and likes to take care of everyone." -Jennifer Garner

My sister and my seven year old share the same birth order. They are  both the middle child. And this has given them a bond. She gets the challenges he has with distinguishing himself in a family with a talented and assertive older sister and a super cute, gregarious little brother. 

She listens to him and she helps him shine. She also came up with a song that has made him think that middle children are the absolute best. I love her for that!

The Middle Child Rock

The middle child rocks!!!

The middle child rules!!!

(Repeat both lines at the top of your lungs with gusto!)

It's been said that "[i]t takes a village to raise a child." That is absolutely true. My sister makes me a better mom because she compensates for me in areas where I am lacking. She is also much more fun than I will ever be!

I agree. I really like "The Middle Child Rock's" chant. As a middle child and an Aunt. I can relate. What a good read.
