By evening, we realized they would be spending the night because things weren't much better at their house. I didn't think it would be a problem for one year old little C., but I wasn't sure how it would go over with D. Three year old's don't like being away from their own bed and "things". When we told him, we were shocked at his positive reaction. After he was ready for bed, Poppy brought him "the candles". The candles are a favorite among the grandchildren. They light when you tap them against anything and the light goes out the same way. He kept turning them off and on... by tapping....tapping.....tapping... When I turned on the overhead light to read his bedtime books, he announced that I could read them by candlelight. It was great fun. I kissed him goodnight and left our little boy in bed with cars, frogs, his Trudy blanket and three candles. He played and played...never left the room and never called me. When it was finally quiet, I went in to check on him; there he was, sound asleep all his toys close by and a candle in his hand. What a fun first sleepover at Grandma and Poppy's....
