Last weekend we started doing FaceTime with Grandpa A and Grandma K ... a really slick way for the grandparents to get their grandkid fill ... live video, uninterrupted ... mismatched jammies, sticky faces, temper tantrums and all. Last weekend we also told JP that his grandparents would come to visit on Friday. I know that toddlers don't have the concept of time nailed down, so I told JP that Grandpa A would come and visit in "Five more sleeps." Each night, we counted down the number of sleeps left for Grandpa A (and Grandma K!) to come. This counting down, mixed in with a few FaceTime chats throughout the week was apparently too confusing for my son! Each morning he asked if he could go downstairs to see them ... FINALLY Friday came!
And within minutes, the kids were opening presents and eating sugar! Ugghh ... I guess that's why the countdown for The Visit is such a big deal! I hope someday my grandkids will love me as much as JP and AA love theirs!
