More from The Baby Whisperer

My wife and kids spent the last three days in the Berkshires with the in-laws while I remained stuck in Connecticut for work.

As always, my in-laws took remarkable care of the family. My father-in-law is especially great with the kids. He has an infinite amount of patience with them, and my daughter says that he is a “great player.”

He seems to channel his inner child especially (and perhaps unnervingly) effectively.

Being away from the family for so long was difficult, but video and images like this always make it a little easier, knowing that Gramps has things well under control.
