Slumber Party With Grandma

Ashton,

Tonight you have your first sleep over at Grandma Glover’s house! This is the beginning of many special times with Grandma. She cares and loves for you boys so very much. A few weeks ago she explained that every other weekend she would like to have one of her grandchildren for an overnight stay. How exciting for the three of you.

Her plan is that every sixth week or so you will spend special time with her having a sleep over. You will be ‘her boy’ having all of her attention as you're spoiled in her love relishing in being suffocated in her snuggles and drowning in sweet kisses. You will be held more than not. The first wince of unhappiness and it will be solved. It is a night all for and all about you and her.

You are so fortunate to have so many people wanting, no needing, time with you. I am sure over the course of the years memories will flood to you in all the special times spent with her. She is the get down and dirty playing in the sand after a smores around the campfire Grandma. She is comfort in homemade lunches on a rainy day Grandma. She is get up and down 82 times to meet your needs Grandma. he is Christmas cookie decorating Grandma. She is warm towels out of the dryer Grandma. She is ask about your day and listens without interruption Grandma. These are occasions that will build traditions and comfort as you grow.

I remember when Kaden shared in his first sleep over with Grandma. He was an infant as well. You all sleep in bed with her to make sleepovers that much easier. Anyway, Kade stated fussing. She found his pacifier on the bed and in the dark tried to give it to him. He was not taking it and growing more frustrated with her. She was feeling the open area trying again and again. Well, Grandma learned that it was his ear she was putting the pacifier in- not his mouth! She was hesitant to share this incident with Dad and me, but when she did we laughed so hard we had tears. I still chuckle over this story. I wonder what ‘secrets’ you two will have!

Enjoy your first of many special Grandma slumber parties. Give her a break and try to sleep through the night. Give her a sweet laugh. Show her a new trick of sucking on toes or rolling across the room. We will miss you, Sprite Guy. See you tomorrow!
