This weekend marked the last of the summer sleepovers with my grandchildren. I have them over one at a time in the summer and also for their birthdays. It is a wonderful time to just have one on one interaction with each and get to know them better. I trust that they will remember these times with fond memories and that perhaps they are getting to know me better too.
Each of my grandchildren have their own personality. Seth is a serious boy who is just beginning the adolescent journey. He now wants a hairstyle and is conscious of what others think of him. He is a joy to be around so serious yet so funny at the same time. Everett is a funny boy who doesn't really care of what others think of him. He is out to have a good time and definitely goes for it. He has a very tender side as well and will well up with tears if he thinks someone else is hurting. Tristan is a cutie who doesn't always get the obvious. He loves baseball, playing it, talking about it and reading about it. He has a mischievous grin that is very endearing. Addy is a girl. I could just stop right there because she is different on so many levels. She loves to hug and kiss me. She welcomes me with a big hug every time I see her. She is large and in charge at times. (takes a little after me and her mom)
I am sorry these sleepovers are over for a time. But I know they will be back again and we will go and do enjoying our time together. So I will rest up and get ready for more to come in the winter. Memories of times spent together, profitable for years to come.
