Aunt Carol the Roo Whisperer

This weekend dada went to Maine for his Uncle's funeral and I went to grandma and grandpa's house to visit with the boys.  Aunt Carol was down for the weekend to help mom sort through Bubbie's stuff.  Roo's met and played with Aunt Carol before, but this weekend she became his new favorite person.  
They slept in the same room together and I was starting to get worried when they didn't emerge from the room until after 0900 Saturday.  Aunt Carol said the Roo woke up at 0600, played around with his flashlight and she played a game of hide Roo with him and then around 0715 they fell back to sleep until 0900.  Nice!

Later that day, Roo wanted Aunt Carol or Carol as he calls her, to hold him.  She picked him up and held him and a few minutes later I looked in the dining room and she was rocking him back and forth on her lap.  It was precious.

And at bedtime Saturday night, Roo would only let Aunt Carol put his blankets on him and turn off the light.  He did make sure that she was going to sleep in the r
oom with him again.  
We had a good weekend visiting and the boys were great in the car to and from grandma and grandpa's house.  Dada made it home safely late Saturday and was ready to play with the boys when I got home Sunday.
