So last night towards the end of dinner, Leon demanded that Maddy tell us a story. Then he did. Then her again, but it had to be the dark dark GHOST one. So she did it exactly like she'd done it during the Campfire Story play from last fall. He sat enthralled... Seriously. and even jumped when she screamed GHOST!!!! He then told his own and then pointed to someone else to tell.
Ryan skipped out and left the table before he had to dream up one. Meri told one and Grandma Maggie told one.
It came to Maddy again. She told the story of when his daddy was a teeny tiny baby. Then started another story about a teeny tiny baby. She asked him who the teeny tiny baby was and he said Grandma Val. So I said, What do they call me when I'm a baby? He replied "Grandma Val baby" of course!!! lol! So the next few stories between him and Maddy consisted of adventures and crying habits of Grandma Val Baby, which Leon had perfected.
Apparently she wet her pants a lot too. Grandma Val Baby, not Maddy.
I think he just hit on a brilliant children's book character! It's going to be a BIG BIG HIT!
Grandma Val Baby adventures. I'd buy that book!
