A few weeks ago, Benjamin started asking to change from his “wake
up clothes” to his pajamas for nap. I didn’t think much of it, we’d just go
along with it – because if pajamas is what it takes for him to take a nap, then
we will go along with that.
Just the other day I remembered that my dad used to change
into his pajamas to take naps too. He is the only person I have ever known,
until Benjamin came along, to completely change out of the day’s clothes into
pajamas and get in bed to take a nap.
It is so bittersweet to watch these little boys grow and
show traits that are not taught. My heart breaks a little bit more every time I
think about how my dad is not around to enjoy his new grandsons, however, my
heart also smiles when I am surprised by my dad’s presence when I least
expected it.
Here he is this past Sunday waking up from nap, in his
pajamas!
