All I need is my car and this potato masher

Kayden and Gramma had a sleepover last night, and boy did we have a good time! At almost 10 months, he is becoming a little person and it is priceless to be a part of his growing. Heidi, with a mother's foresight, brought along Kayden's wheels- this hot car with a horn! Our hardwood floors were the perfect surface for him to motor on, and he took advantage of the ideal driving conditions. And what would a night on the town in your new car be without...a potato masher??!! He peddled, Fred Flintstone-style, holding the masher aloft like a sword. Thankfully the cats ran for cover or they would have been roadkill for sure.

At around 10 PM, Kayden had a bath (with the masher) and I put him to bed, just as Mom instructed. Ha! Not so fast, Gramma. Apparently Kayden already heard that at Gramma's you get to stay up LATE and he was planning on that. I laid him down and he popped up. I tried to hold him sideways, like he used to prefer, and he cried more. So, we went in to Gramma's room, turned out the light and sat in the rocker. At first, he pointed at things in the dark, but Gramma was not feeling very chatty at 11:30 PM, so we just rocked. Soon, his head was starting to sway back and forth, and he finally fell asleep on my shoulder.
