Sleepovers Rock

My son, 3 1/2 years old, spent the night with his Poppy (grandfather) yesterday. He was so excited. Jay had been asking to have special time with Poppy for weeks. Last night was finally a good time. Jay spent the entire day talking about it. He packed a little suitcase, and was ready to roll.

We dropped him off and he ran to his Poppy's lap. They ate ice cream and watched a movie. Jay got to sleep in the big bed with Poppy. This morning they ate a big breakfast of grapes, pancakes and Kefir.

Times like these make me miss being a child. The utter joy of just spending time with a loved one, looking forward all day to a special event are the memories we recall when reviewing the good times of our lives.

I'm very thankful my kids have the ability to make those memories with their grandfather at this stage of their lives.
