A few weeks ago we went to Finnley and Elliot's baptism. Aren't they just adorable in their baptism dresses? This is the girls with their Aunt Lindsay.
We got to spend some time with the kids and grandkids on Saturday at Melissa's parents house. Finn and Elliot's older brother, Mason (2), was having a blast playing with Jacob and Abigail, his older cousins.
When Jacob and Abigail needed a break, the grandparents were up to bat to entertain Mason. He would come up to me and say, "Go to sleep, Grandma Bob."
First, how adorable is that??? Our neighbor Karsyn used to call me "Bob" when she was younger. Those r's are hard to say!
Second, nothing beats hearing your grandchildren say "grandma."
So I would lay my head down and close my eyes, pretending to sleep. Mason would look around at the other family members and giggle. Then he would creep up to me and touch me to wake me up. Sometimes after I "went to sleep" I would watch him and when he wasn't looking I would open my eyes and grab him. He loved the game.
Grandpa also got to play "go to sleep Grandpa" with Mason, but Grandpa ended up covered in pillows to protect himself as Mason landed on him with his whole body to wake him up. Mason must think Grandpa is much more durable!
Mason's magical power of telling us to go to sleep and having it work instantly was pretty awesome.
I just wish Mason was around those nights when I can't sleep to work his magic,
If only all it took for me to sleep was hearing "Go to sleep Grandma Bob."
Haha, I missed this! Although I am very familiar with the game. Other ways he likes to wake people up is by throwing balls or ramming with his bike. I think you had the best option!!!
