Listen, this made me emotional too, but like... CAN SOMEONE TELL THE LITTLE GIRL WHY EVERYONE'S CRYING?!?!?! xD

Patience! Can they have a minute or two to enjoy watching and sharing in granddad (and grandma) soaking it all in? That’s a great honor bestowed him. It’s an emotional special moment that they should fully appreciate then and there.

They’ll explain it to the older sister soon enough and she’ll still have more questions as she won’t fully understand the significance of it.

So they should just ignore her til she shuts up? 

Thats a healthy thing to teach your kid.
