When Ron's parents came at Christmas time, it had been right around a month since "Panpa" (as Maddie lovingly refers to him) began a new job. He had been laid off for several years and it was a huge answer to prayer when he began a job right after Thanksgiving. However, it was 3rd shift and at Christmas time, when they visited, he was still adjusting to the hours!
This picture below shows him trying to get some sleep (imagine with 4 running around)! He was successful in sleeping and was out pretty hard, but Maddie thought she would read to him a story while he napped!
It was so cute. She got some books (Christmas books with Baby Jesus in them, of course) and she sat down in front of him to read to him!
She tired of that, (perhaps of his lack of responding to her amazing reading skills!) and decided she wanted Panpa to wake up! She would get real close, but not touch him, then she would slowly rub his arm! Grandma was trying to encourage her to rub his back - to which she got very frustrated because she "couldn't find his back" :) So Grandma suggested, "give him a kiss", but his face was covered too!
She proceeded to get more and more daring, kissing his arm, rubbing his arm, talking softly to him! Until finally...
She got what she wanted...Panpa's undivided attention!
It was so cute to sit and watch!
Maddie loves her Panpa!
