Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Our almost three year old grandson spent the night with us last night - his first overnight.  He did really well, and complimented me on lunch and dinner.  The evening required seeing Finding Dory and in the afternoon we saw Cars, but it was a small price to pay for him to not feel selfconscious about this big step.  Naturally I slept in the guest bed with him.  I wasn't about to try the toddler bed and go through getting up and down and back and forth.  Already he requires his three kitties, a hermit crab and a squid to snuggle with, plus a plush blue blanket I have that he adores.  I ended up sleeping with my granddaughter when she was young, and it gradually morphs into them handling the toddler bed by themselves, but not as young as this fellow.  His parents were able to move his stuff to his new, smaller bedroom, with walls of a bright yellow gold he picked out.  I wonder if part of the choice was that the room he sleeps in for his nap here is yellow.  This test was for the four days in November when his parents are going to Hawaii for a wedding and we have him four nights.  That won't be as smooth, I'm clear sighted about it, but at least he knows he can survive the separation.  And I'm sure I can weather a very tiny bedfellow for a few nights as well.
