Getting a grandson into Social Media… sort of!

Two weeks ago, I “launched” my @GrandparentU Twitter page.

This is something I’ve wanted to do for quite some time… combine my love of grandchildren, children, education, reading, literacy, family, fitness and health as a resource for fellow Grandparents and Boomers.  We are, after all, a great force of nature!

I first posted a profile pic of me with my husband Barry and all 9 grandchildren, but it got “lost” in the Twitter space…

… and many friends and followers didn’t recognize me @SharonCouto (which I still have) as @GrandparentU.

So yesterday I asked my 6-year old grandson, Alex, to take a photo of me for @GrandparentU.  Kind of get him into this Social Media world!

I handed Alex my cell phone and he went about his work, setting up the shot, albeit laughing up a storm while he listened to my directions.  Little did I know that he was having fun VIDEOING me…

I don’t think I’ve had such at a fun photo shoot ever, and how appropriate is this for a GRANDPARENT site!?

And I don’t think I have a photo of me ever with a smile as big as the one captured through Alex’s beautiful, beautiful eyes…

Now that’s a Grandparent smile!

Join and follow me over at @GrandparentU for some lively understanding, shared wisdom and fun!

Thanks, Alex, for giving me the knowledge, great secret and love of spontaneous LIFE…

    You are off on another social media adventure. Alex laugh is too cute and your smile is lovely. I can’t wait to see it again in person one day. Love you, my friend.
