The Princess had her very first sleep-over at our house Saturday night. You might have thought (like we did) that honour would have gone to Krayon’s parents, but with so many grand-kids already, I guess the novelty had worn off…that and Krayons mom had a bad cold.

It was Krayon’s 21st birthday so they were having a party and it seemed like a good opportunity to have the Princess spend the night away. Krayon spent an hour giving ♀ last minute instructions (because babies are so much different now) before Junior helped me tether the car-seat and baby in. I told him that it was going to easier for all concerned to do this at 5 months than it would be waiting for a judge to order it at 8 years (Mini). He said he knew that and he also knew how excited his mom was about the night. ♀ got in the car and told Junior that Krayon was crying and needed a hug.

It’s only a 10 minute drive, but the baby fell asleep and when she woke up at our place and her parents weren’t here she was NOT amused. That was the only really nerve jangling time. Well not having the boob at bedtime pissed her off (I can understand that), but we managed.

Krayon managed to not phone, but she did text ♀ several times. Junior called me about 1am after I sent a text asking if I really needed to wake the Princess up every 2 hours to feed her…she was getting annoyed. He said he knew I was kidding and was just calling to…well, he was a little drunk and was getting bored of the drama and by the way, how did things go tonight?

The surprise of the night was anytime the baby woke up or was fussy it was Grandpa who was able to get her settled again. She would never admit it, but I think ♀ was a bit put out  by that. Especially since little kids are usually afraid of me.

Don’t tell anyone I said so, but this grandpa gig isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

Cheers,

♀ & sss
