Blame it on the Grandparents

What a rough night it's been! (read previous post on bedtime threats) But oh how happy Ella is to have Papa and Gramma here!

Since we told her yesterday that they were coming, she's been asking about them non-stop. She cried and whined this morning because they weren't here when she woke up. She called Papa several times to see where he was, was he on the way and to "hurry up Papa, come see me!"

They finally rolled into town around 6 and she's been non-stop since. Off to get pizzas with Papa, reading "Fancy Nancy" over and over and over again with Gramma. She was just so excited, she couldn't wind down and bedtime was even worse than usual.

We love that she loves them so much. And we love having them here, because they're playmates, and it gives us a break. But we also love when they go home, and we can return to the daily routine we know and love.
