We have looked after our twin grandchildren regularly since they were born eight years ago. I was sixty when we started and more mobile than I am now but we found it helpful to take them out and about and also we made sure. They had an afternoon sleep/rest for the first three years at least.
We would take them to a local twins club one morning,aplaygroup on another day and some days we would have a trip to the library. l also resurrected some old friends l hadn't seen for years and invited them for coffee. It is surprising how another pair of hands can help out.It was great fun and I miss those early years but we still have them after school two days a week.
