Hosting Grandparents (Updated)

For the last week Jasper has been getting spoiled by BOTH sets of grandparents. Grandma and Papa Jasper came on Monday night and left Thursday evening. Grandma and Grandpa Gant arrived Thursday night and are still here this morning. (They leave tomorrow.) This has given me some added free time but more so it has given both sets of grandparents time to bond with the little guy. They've loved it!




Grandma Jasper thinks Jasper will get hair like his papa. Right now Jasper's hair isn't quite as thick as papa's, but we'll see how things develop.




Jasper wasn't quite on the same page as Grandma in the truck book, but he still liked it. It's the story of a pesky turtle who keeps getting in the way of construction, and about some friendly construction workers who stop to help him. It's interesting how an environmental theme would get woven into a children's book like that.


We realize Jasper has two Aunties, but he feels the same way about both. :)




Papa Jasper is rolling the dice here, very likely going to get hit with some massive drool ... but he didn't care. He had fun playing airplane with Jasper. (Papa even got a chance to hit golf balls last week while Jasper napped - so he was happy about that!)



It's official, I am not a manicurist. Goodness gracious! I can't keep my son's finger nails smooth enough to prevent them from being weapons. He has scratches on his face and even his belly from these razor sharp nails. I can't imagine how his nails could be so deadly, but alas ... they are. I spent three days in a row cutting, filing and refiling his nails. This is the last attempt, with Grandma Gant's help. Jasper has stopped resisting violently anymore. Perhaps he's just figured out it's better to go with the flow for a little while to get it done - because I am persistent and will keep trying to get his nails softer. I was sure I'd have my mom card revoked when he showed up at the nursery yesterday with two fresh scratches on his face. ugh!


Grandpa and Grandma Gant gave Jasper a bath during their visit.

Grandma Gant is sitting with a melow Jasper. Shortly after this photo was taken Jasper got very active for his bath.

Grandpa Gant shared a laugh with Jasper.
