Grandparent Bootcamp

Friday night Andy & I went to Skretta & Bridget's wedding...(see Michelle's Blog for more details...too many vodka lemonades makes my details fuzzy and hangover horrible). Since the reception was in the far south suburbs, Grandma and Grandpa Johnson volunteered to babysit the kiddo overnight.

SUCKERS!

We dropped Addison off at 3:00 on Friday afternoon...Grandma Johnson reports that baby was a delight during her shift, 3:00 - 9:00p.m. Grandpa Johnson, who covered from 9:00p.m. - 11:00 a.m. Saturday, says he loves his grandbaby...and she can come back for a sleep over when she is sleeping through the night.

To be totally honest, Addison came home happy, unscathed, and in one piece. I am not so sure, however, that she left Grandpa in one piece or unscathed. Baby woke Grandpa up every 2 hours (just for fun I think, because these days she sleeps 4 to 6 hours straight), introduced him to the joy that is her dirty diaper and showed him the fun game of "pee in the middle of a diaper change".

When I picked her up, she looked perfectly happy and content. Grandpa looked happy as well, even if I am positive a feather could have knocked him over. Within 5 minutes of leaving Grandma & Grandpa's Addison was sound asleep in her car seat, and slept for a solid 3 hours. I called Grandpa to tell him, but he didn't answer...

I am pretty sure that within 5 minutes of us leaving, he went down for his nap!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for babysitting...Addison can't wait to come over again :)
