We went to visit with the boys great-grandparents this weekend. Both of my grandfathers passed away when I was in high school. C met both of my grandmothers, but he was too young to remember them. I hope that maybe he is old enough for some of the memories of his Daddy's grandparents to stick. They are also the only ones to have been able to meet our lil' peanut. They were both so supportive and wonderful throughout our adoption journey and it felt just awesome to be able to introduce them to the little boy they helped us bring home.
C has been to their house multiple times, but this time we visited them in their nursing home. He wasn't even phased. He said they had cool beds, marveled that they had candy jars, and asked if he could borrow the wheelchair. (Which was a big hit, by the way)
This was the absolute sweetest thing I have seen in awhile. My busy boy, sitting still, taking the time to read a whole book to his great grandparents.
He even stopped to show them the pictures. Precious! And when we left he hugged them both, told them he loved them, and asked for one more candy from the jar. ;) Loved watching my boy love so good.
Lil' peanut with a very special person. So special, in fact, we named our little guy after the man!
