Bedtime Reads.

Dear grandson sometimes sleeps upstairs if his mom

has to work a night shift. He wanted to read the other

night, and while he was down in their apartment, I

grabbed these 3 books that we gifted him as a baby

and a toddler. He was surprised but did read them!

The first two on the pillows have his name in them

and really special as his name is not super common,

so it's hard to find things that have his name. And the

big one below the pillows is actually the first book we

bought for him after he was born. It's got some moving

parts in it and he loved when we'd read this to him. I

love that we've instilled our passion for reading in him.

Girly Room.

Our granddaughter had her first sleepover

at our house on Friday night. Tons of fun!

For the last couple of years, our little guy has been

sleeping in this room when the mama works nights.

But on Friday night, this room became a special

spot  for a tiny girl to play and dream. I'm so excited

we had the chance to have her sleep over, in the 

room we had always dreamed she'd sleep in one day.

1st Sleepover.

Our daughter~in~law celebrated a big

birthday this week and they had made

plans to go out on Friday night. But

their childcare plans fell through. So

guess who got to not only have the

chance to care for our granddaughter

(their ask) but she also got to sleep

over at our house for the very first

time (our offer). She was so excited,

we were over the moon and the very

tired parents got a nice little break. A

win for all. More pictures to follow ....
