The Baby Whisperer

I have always known my dad is good with babies. Kids are drawn to him and he is quite the favorite amongst the grand kids in our family despite mom's efforts. Well things have not changed since Little J.'s arrival. The first couple of months were quite challenging when it came to calming Jonathan and getting him to STAY asleep for a long stretch of time. One evening Dad took a turn and after some time came back in to the living room with Little J. perched on a pillow sound asleep. Since then Dad has taken Jonathan several afternoons to give me a break. He always gets the same results: Jonathan sleeps better with Grandad than any other member of the family. I have even had to ask for lessons on how he gets him to stay asleep for a long nap. Although it has helped in some ways, "Little Grandad" still prefers being with Grandad perched on a pillow on his stomach when he is ready for a nap. I am so thankful for my dad and the relationship he has already built with my boys.
