Grandma Bonnie watched the boys for twenty-four hours and she made it! Erik and I were away together overnight for the first time ever since having Xander. Xander was happy to have Grandma Bonnie come and watch him while we left, he just wanted to talk to us on the phone while we were gone. (Every time I hear him on the phone he sounds so tiny and young and vulnerable!! And happy.) Nick was sad for about a minute, I think, but Grandma was about to read him a story when we left, so he quickly turned his attention to the book.
The boys had a fabulous time.
There were two "casualties." Grandma Bonnie was very sorry about them but they weren't really casualties at all, because both are now fixed. When she was helping Xander pick up some of his bazillions of Legos, she started to carry his King's Castle to the side of the room and it partially broke. I heard that Xander cried but he quickly bucked up and realized that Dad could fix it. And Dad did. The other thing was blueberry applesauce all over Nick's shorts, which nobody cared about, but there are no stains after both of us worked on it a little bit. Voila! No casualties!
Oh, and Grandma Bonnie had a cold/laryngitis/cough/something while she did all this! I'm sure the boys did not allow her to rest, but she may have gotten in an early bedtime. I don't know.
