I can laugh...

because I'm Beckham's grandmother

Baby Monitors...

something that wasn't available when Beckham's momma and uncle were babies.

Beckham and his momma and daddy moved into a new home this fall and it was decided that perhaps a baby monitor might come in handy in their bigger home.

I was impressed, these are the coolest things since sliced bread.  

Why,

I even mentioned to my adult children

they would still come in handy

  when the kids are in high school

and dating...

okay

sorry,

got side-tracked there...

Back to Beckham...

At nap time or bed time I just love sitting next to the "downstairs monitor" and listen to this little guy...

  

before falling into a slumber,

Beckham sings the abc song

over 

and over

and over...

so sweet,

"next time won't you sing wis meeeeeeeee"

{precious}

After the songs are over

we move onto stories...

stories Beckham tells

in his own words

about 

Thomas, 

Percy

Gordan

 James

and

Cranky, of course!

Beckham turned 3 in November and still wants to sleep in his crib.  

No interest in his big boy bed,

with big boy covers...

  Beckham thinks it's more fun to climb out of the crib,

then take naps these days...

I received a phone call this morning from Beckham's mommy

and

we talked about painting, stenciling, antiquing, the weather, recipes

and Beckham...

  Momma seemed a wee tad frustrated,

as napping

is becoming more and more a thing of the past..

Remember those days?

  Last evening he was tucked into his crib at bed time,

and a few minutes later

momma and daddy could hear him (on the baby monitor)

climb out of  his crib.

He seems to have it now mastered without

falling...

  Momma says to daddy,

"Go get him".

  Daddy says, lets just wait & see what he does.

CLICK.

{The sound of the baby monitor being shut off.}

The one in Beckhams room.

By Beckham.

Yes, momma's telling me the story

and

I'm laughing my fanny off,

 nearly falling of my chair...

momma however,

didn't see the same humor in it...

I can laugh because I'm the grandma,

right?

I'm thinking mommy and daddy just got busted.

Busted for eavesdropping on their 3 year old,

by their 3 year old!

You see,

there is some urgency in getting Beckham 

to liking his big boy bed

and his big boy covers...

Come tax day,

or there abouts

he's going to be a big brother!

The new baby will need that crib in a few months...

the transition to his big boy bed needs to happen,

soon-like.

Beckham's going to have a baby sister

and 

we are bursting with excitement!!!

Grandma's been buying little girl out fits

with matching shoes...

A little pair of denim espadrilles

for a casual,

play with big brother,

type of day...

Little pink leathers

for dress up

type of days...

and

of course,

every little girls closet

must have a pair 

of zebra shoes in it...

right?

.

Have a good weekend,
