My greatgrandson, Nolan is coming to stay overnight with me. His 8th birthday is on the 10th and I'm taking him to ToysRUs so he can choose his own present. We've done this a few times before and I thoroughly enjoy it...he does, too! I tell him how much money he can spend and he chooses his gifts carefully, asking occasionally how much money he'll have left if he chooses a particular item. He never complains, whines, or asks for more but I'm not strict about the limit. He doesn't know this.
Up until this year I'd take either Nolan or Nash for the day about twice a month but once I started having times where I fall asleep unexpectedly I stopped because I felt it was too dangerous for me to be caring for them. Nolan and I will have a busy day today and tomorrow morning so I hope I won't have that problem.
I always wanted grandchildren but never thought ahead to the day I'd have greatgrandchildren. What a beautiful bonus in life! Being in the precious presence of innocent children is one of the most wonderful experiences one can have. Of course, it's best if the children are well behaved and mine are.
I told his mother that she can bring him any time today but I haven't heard when they'll be coming. No problem, I'll patiently wait for my sweet little man.
